“TRAGIC PRINCESS”
BESET BY CREDITORS EX-KAISER BLAMED. ZOUBKOFF ARRESTED.
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received B.IC a.m.) LONDON, November Id.
It is learned that the tragic Princess Victoria was reduced to dire straits before her death as the direct outcome of her marriage. A London woman, who recou'ly visited the Princess at Bonn, sta>s that up to the last she still loved Zoubkoff, and, though she was heavily in debt, she insisted on sending him money to Luxembourg. She held the ex-Kaiser responsible for Zoubkoff’s expulsion from Germany.
The woman adds: A month or two ago, the Princess was so beset by creditors that she wrote, begging me to approach influential people in London on her behalf, and even suggested that I should write to His Majesty the King and the Prince of Wales. The proceeds from rents and the sale of Jewels and heirlooms were only sufficient to liquidate half her debts. A report from Bonn states the Princess will be buried at Krononbcrg Castle beside her mother, the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria. A Berlin message says that M. Zoubkoff was arrested today when entering Germany without a passport.
