“FULL OF IDEAS”

PRINCESS’ HUSBAND BLAZE OP PUBLICITY (Elcc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Australian end N.Z. viable Association.) BERLIN. Feb. 20. The ex-Kaiser’s newly-married sister resents the public interest in herself and her husband, who is known as 'the Prince Consort. Everywhere they go in the capital they are surrounded by a curious crowd.

They seem destined, however, never to escape, for her husband, the young Russian, Zoubkoff, is in no way disinterested. Tempting film offers have been received from. Hollywood and elsewhere which the Princess rejects with roval scorn.

Zoubkou is full of ideas which are bound to result in a blaze of publicity. Not the least of these is a non-stop trans-Atlantic flight.. He assured the Morning Post’s Berlin correspondent that plans for the flight were definite. He would start from the. Continent. He was indignant when asked if he would turn back in the event of bad weather, staling, ‘‘lt will be a matter either to do or die.” He added he had not broken relations with the exKaiser, and in the event of an invitation would, v isit Doom.

All the highest people, however, say the world is shocked and relatives disregard the titles. The Princess desires to be known as Frau Zoubkoff, and her husband says he does not care a jot what he is called.
