GERMAN PRINCE
WEDDING POSTPONED. (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) Berlin, May 10. Without any explanation the marriage of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia to Dorothea von Salviati, which had been fixed for May 16, has been postponed for a month. Previous messages state: Royalists are distressed over the engagement of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, the eldest son of ihe ex-Crown Prince, to Fraulein Dorothea von Salviati, a member of an ancient Italian family, which settled in Prussia in the eighteenth century. Royalists regard Wilhelm as the future emperor, and they are incensed because he ignored the rule that Hohenzollerns must many persons of equal birth. Wilhelm considers that his choice is consonant with the spirit of the age. The ex-Kaiser is aggrieved at his favourite grandchild’s engagement with a commoner, thus forfeiting his rights as a possible claimant to the German throne.
