commerce of Worms and Offenbach. in
terested in the leather trade, have petit

whereupon the emperor, as head of the
Hohenzollern family, banished the
prince and princess to Cassel The
prince, who has estates near Potsdam
desired to return to them and has ne:

refused. The petition was renewed
during the emperors recent visit to
Sassel, and refusal led to renewal
of the quarrel.
