MAN DISAPPEARS
THOUGHT TO BE GERMAN PRINCE.
AN UNSIGNED LETTER LEFT.
Berlin, September 19.
The police are investigating the disappearance of a mysterious stranger, who is rumoured to be a Prince of the House of Hapsburg. The man hired a boat on Lake Koenigsee and vanished, leaving an unsigned letter stating that he had unknowingly financed bomb-throwers and preferred death to dishonour. He requested that if his body was found it would not be placed in the family vault as his crowned ancestors would turn in their graves if lying next to a Socialist. He asked to be buried on the shores of his beloved Koenigsee.— Australian Press Association.
