KAISER WILHELM'S LEFT ARM
! Something That All Germany Knows
and None Dare Men
ton.

Berlin.-On January 81, 1859, Berlin
waited for the guns which were to
announce the birth of the first baby
to the princess royal of Great Britain,
who married Prince Frederick Will
liam Of Prussia, in 1858. For an heir
101 guns are fired and for daughter
only twenty-five. At the twenty-third
report all Berlin went mad with de-
light. The crowd near the palace cap
tured old Field Marshal Wrangel,
clamoring for particulars.
Children" he said, "all is well. 1t
Is as fine and sturdy a recruit as one
could wish" Thus was the birth of
the present kaiser.
But the public little knew Of the
tragedy which almost had happened,
and which might have resulted in the
death of the baby prince and his moth
er.
1t is related in biography of the
Empress Frederick, just published,
that the bedroom of the princess at
the old schloss, the royal palace in
Berlin, was next to the death cham
Der where a previous king had died.
This was kept in the same state as on
the day of his death, and the princess
had to pass through it to her bedroom
or dressing room. 1t was in circum-
stances like these that the present
kaiser was born, and his defect at
birth-a helpless left arm-was the
result of most unfortunate mis-
chance. The letter summoning Doc
tor Martin, the English doctor that
Queen Victoria desired to of1ciate at
the birth, was put by stupid servant
into the post instead Of being sent
direct, and it was this delay that
caused all the trouble.
Both mother and baby were for a
time in imminent danger. No anaes-
thetic was administered, and the
princess, with characteristic courage,
looked up to her husband, who held
her in his arms the whole time. None
of them about her thought her
strength would hold out, and one of
the German doctors actually said in
her presence that she would die, and
her baby, too.
Fortunately, this dismal prophecy
was not fulfilled, and as the years
went by the young prince grew up to
be a fine, manly boy, in spite Of the
fact that he was permanently crippled
in his left arm.
