GIVEN UP TO DIE.

There Is No Hopes of Saving Frederick's
Lffe-How His Strength Is Sustained.
Gan Reno Special to New York World.
This is the exact condition of Frederick III,
the new Emperor, with an explanation which
will enable the public to correctly follow the
case with no more assistance than is given by
the meager official bulletins. He has been alb
solutely given up for some time. How when
he will succumb is not known by anyone. His
m alady has strange rises and fails. Attirnes
he sinks rapidly, and is apparently approaching
the worst. and then he comes up again by re-
covery of physical strength which surprises all
about him. and gives false hopes once more
Now. IL is as absolutely certain as nything
within medical knowledge that his pres
emit condition is not of imminent
danger. 1t Was the late Emperor who decided
that Frederick must go TO Berlin for the end.
German legal formalities great in connec-
ton with the death of important personaees that
the Emper ors death upon foreign soil would
create endless and needless embarrassment
When Prince William came here the other day
it was expected that he would superintend the
removal of his father. The sudden cessation of

Emperor's malady when his strength has to be
sustained by artificial food preparation. An
other evidence of the hopelessness of his case is
the distrust of all medical opinions shown by
those Immediately attached 70 the Emperor.
One said yesterday: "Our trust now is entirely
in God. II it is His will the Emperor will live.
His case absolutely rests in His hands"
The plain inference from this was that moth
ing but miracle could save him.
