A GRIM STORY ABOUT WILLIAM.
The Tragic Mystery of Lieut.. Won
Hahnlxe's Death,

me tragic Mystery OF Lieut.. Won
Hahnke's Death.
Harold Frederic in the New York Times
The German emperor is never so thor
oughly happy as when he is concentrating
attention on himself, and he apparently
has not yet reached the limit of astounding
pranks he is capable of playing in order to
be well under the limelight on the Euro
pean stage. This makes it all the more
curious that one of his many dramatic en-
frances and exits, which was closely fol-
lowed by the tragic death of young COM
panion, has been shut off from the public
gaze by the curtain of silence raised only
for brief moment to show the august
figure Of the imperial protagonist in I'M
certain light dimned by the mist OF i'm
probable fiction. 1t will be remembered
how short time back the world was pain
ed by the information that the imperial
navigator on board the yacht Hohenzollern
on the Norwegian coast had received a
bad black eye. Elaborate explanations
were at once forthcoming as to the clumsy
happing or falling Of a vaguely placed
rope on one Of the best-appointed vessels
manned by perhaps the smartest crew
afioat Then comes the tragedy in the
shape of the sudden death next day of
Lieut.. Won Hahnke, a promising young
naval officer on board the Hohenzollern,
and the press of Europe was required to
swallow the astounding canard that this
young athlete, expert at all manly exer-
cises, had landed and ridden a bicycle over
the edge of a cliff into the sea.
All this goes very well. and the entour-
age Of the kaiser may be recommended as
artists in fiction of no mean order. But
the grim story which is now muttered I'M

SO sorely tried by the feverish Tuning Of

kind 1t tells of young officer who. mad

got himself as to, strike his sovereign, and
then, on the next day., seeing that all-was
over for him, took his own ruined life. If
this tragedy be true even in part, 1t has
its own precedent in history If not in grave
pity. By such needless mystery and care
full concealmenti of the details attending
the young fellows death, added to the
foolish explanations vouchsafed to the not
altogether imbecile wprld, that the Ger
man authorities should turn mems minds
to the gravest interpretations, even where
the issue Is less serious. it Is most curious.
