INSULTS DENIED.
German Prince Renounces Nationality. EXAGGERATED REPORTS. LONDON", January 4. 1 The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" 'says: "The Flying Dutchman heading at 100 miles an hour toward his new nationality," is how the "National Zeitung" describes Prince Bernhard von Lippe-Biesterfeld, in denouncing his refusal to protest against "insults to Germany." Speaking at The Hague the Prince said: "I am no longer a German Prince but a Dutch subject. Accordingly, I beg that only the Dutch national anthem be played in my honour and that only the Dutch flag be flown." Previously the Prince had written to Herr Hitler stating that he had investigated the complaints of insults which either were untrue or maliciously exaggerated. He said he would be the first to act in the event of an insult to Germany, but none had occurred.
