Last week, for the first time since the War, Dutch frontier guards allowed Germans to enter the Netherlands without having their passports visaed. A few hours after this regulation went into force Friedrich Wilhelm Victor August Ernst, onetime Crown Prince of Germany, crossed the Dutch frontier and was met at Amersfoort by his uncle, the former Prince Henry of Prussia, that jovial "Sailor Prince" who visited the U.S. in 1902 to officiate at the launching of the Kaiser's U.S.-built yacht. Swiftly the aged uncle and the now perceptibly aging nephew sped to Doorn...
There the celebration of Wilhelm II's 67th birthday (TIME, Feb. 8) was still under way. The former Kaiser embraced his son, whom he had not seen for two years, "with tears in his eyes." The one-time Crown Prince "displayed his usual gayety." Later, Wilhelm's consort, Hermine, donned "a striking pink and black silk gown and a diamond tiara." Thus attired, she welcomed Herr Mendelssohn, her husband's chief banker, and many a titled Dutch and German guest to "a grand reception, at which all present were...

S. sailor on the point of drowning, he doffed his royal shoes and coat, jumped in, rescued the sailor and finally succeeded in keeping the whole affair dark for some weeks...
...Manhattan, Swedes proudly recalled that Crown Prince Gustaf is an excellent all-round athlete, an amateur archeologist of considerable practical ability, a tolerable singer and a vigorous champion of religious culture. His younger brother, the dramastist-poet Prince William, Duke of Sodermanland, is perhaps better known abroad (TIME, Oct. 19). But the activities of Crown Prince Gustaf, in connection with the World Church Conference at Stockholm (TIME, Aug. 24 et seq), his archeological excavations on the site of ancient Asine, and his work as a member of the Swedish Olympic Committee, have attracted considerable quiet notice. His most widely bruited...
