That He is Ready to Endure Exile
And All Else for Her.

Special Correspondence.
| nERLIN. Oct. 17.--With or without
X the consent of his cousin. the
II German emperor. Prince Joachim
Albrecht OF Prussia IL determined
To wed Marie Sulzer, German actress
OF humble birth, mature years and a
dubious past SO at least the royal
wooer assures his friends. To marry
the woman he loves he is prepared Ia
defy both the kaisers mailed fist and
oracular tongue.
That the kaiser will ever give his
consent TO the morganatic marriage is
highly improbable, He holds most ex-
dlted notions of the social obllga lions
imposed by the possession OF Hohsn-
zoilern blood and relationship with hls
august self. Such a marriage as the
prince Is bent on would constitute a
mesalliance OF the most glarlng char
acter. And Il would be the first mes
alliance TO be contracted by a member
OF the royal house OF Prussia
The one thing to be said in its favor
Is that since the prince became en-
amored OF the still sprightly though no
longer youthful soubrette OF the Tria.
non theater here, he has sobered down
considerably and no longer leads tho
riotous life OF royal high roller. Tha
unequal match may make a better man
of him after all. But considerations
OF this kind are hardly likely to weigh
with a man who has such highfalutiu
ideas Of dignity as the German en-
peror. Should he, however, make a
concession 10 Cupid and give his sane
ton to the marriage, the prince would
have to renounce all his rights and
privileges as member OF the royal
family. He would have TO leave the
army and would be excluded from court
functions In fact, he would become
practically an eX-prince possessed OF no
more authority or dignity than those
European monarchs who have lost their
Jobs.

and probably exiied from Germany by

Having already sacrificed a big fo.-
tune 80 800 000-at the shrine OF Cupid,
the prince does not mind offering up
an additional hundred thousand dollars
or so on the same altar. Old Prince

succeeded only IN obtaining a promise
from the prince that the marriage

death. And he registered his protest
