kaiser NCENSEDOVER
HISSON' SENCACENENT
Will Break Prince Oscars
Plan or Danish Him for
Wedding Intention
COUNTESS INA MARIE
NOT OF ROYAL BLOOD
Rv Tho I-nilnd Press-

BY The United Press.
BERLIN, May 26- German nobility,
society and ofiiciaidom were aghast
today when Prince Oscar, of Prussia.
fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm. publicly
announced his engagement to marry
Countess Ina Marie, daughter of
Count Bassewitz, Of Mecklenburg.
Il is the first instance on record
where a male of the reigning branch
of the Hohenzollerns has been NOR
ganatically engaged to wed. While
the young countess is a woman of
rank. she is not of royal blood
1t was confidently expected the
Kaiser would either break the en-
gagement or Danish his son.
Prince Oscar is in his twenty-sixth
YEAR The Kaiser las but two chill
dren younger than he, Prince
Joachim and Princess Victoria
Louise, now the Duchess of Bruins
wick. Countess ina Marie Basse-
WITT is a half-yeer older than the
prince. She is the daughter OF
Count Bassewitz Of Schloss- -Brestow-
Das-Trow in Mecklcnburg. The Count
in state minister of Mecklenburg and
formerly was a member of the
Reichstag.
The countess met the prince while
she was a waiting to En-
press Augusta Victoria. II was be-
lieved at first that the Kaiser would
consent to the marriage, but appar-
emily he will not and the countess
has not been received in the royal
household since the Princes attach
ment for her became known.
BY fatty announcing his intention TO
marry the girl of his choice, regardless
of Hohenzollern precedent, and family
tradition, Prince Oscar won the instant
admiration of the public. The revela-
tion OF the romance that cost the COun-
tess Ina Marie her position as lady-in-
waiting to the Empress and which may
cost the youthful prince his royal
tongues of all Berhners
Until the prince came forward with
his announcement, he was not a very
important figure in German life. With
| four princes between him and the i'm
perial throne, the young man was not
| considered of much consequence, except
when he raced his automobile through
Inter den Linden strasse.
II was not known until now that
Prince Oscar had backbone and stamina
Germans are now convinced that he is
"a chip O the old block" and a battle
royal between the Kaiser and son is
expected.
Prince Oscar is without income. save
the bounty of the War lord The Ger
man Empire allows the Emperor some
thing like S5,O0O,OOO annually. Out Of
this he provides allowances for the
members of his family. Should the
Kaiser forbid the match and the Prince
remain firm. he may be sent penniless
out of Germany and have to work &c
support himself and his wife

vent the anger Of bees than to stop
it after IL is begun. If you misman-
age colony Of bees and arouse their
anger, it is quite likely that this dis
position will remain with them for
few days.
A bee away from home. OF laden
with honey. never volunteers an at
tack This is so well known and es-
tablished by apiarists that IL | we're
not writing mainly for beginners. I
would not think of mentioning it.
Thus, in order to render bees harm
less, it is only necessary to cause
them to fill themselves with honey,
and THIS is done by frightening them
with smoke, When smoke is driven
into hive through the entrance. the
bees at once begin filling themselves
with honey
But with them. as with human be-
ings, 1t is the most experienced which
are slowest to take fright, SO when
the old bees are all at home it Is
more difficult, and takes more time to
compel them TO fill themselves.
For this reason it is much safer to
handle bees during the warmest part
OF the day, or at a time when the
greater part of the old are in the
field.
The bees which compose a swarm
are usually filled with honey for the
journey which they expect to take,
and they are harmless unless crushed,
or very much irritated by the anger of
others and the smell of the poison 1t
is not absolutely necessary to smoke
a colony of bees until all the bees fill
themselves with honey in order to
handle them safely. but 1t is certainly
the safest method
An expert may open hive without
smoke and without danger, and may
handle the combs, and return them to
the hives without getting a single
sting by being quiet. steady and fear
less.
1t is fact that the fearless apiar-
list may often be entirely unframed.
while others a rod away may be stung
by the very bees which his manipu.
lations anger.
Ills quiet, determined demeanor is
his safeguard, while the uninitiated
strike at the angry bees until they
are stung.
When you wish to open a hive OF
bees, IL you wish to be perfectly safe,
arm yourself with a smoker. cover
your head with a veil. and step bold.
ly to the front of the hive; send the
smoke through the opening for half a
minute. then stop, and repeat the OPP
Grafton after another half minute, or
until they make steady hum. which
will show that they have given up
the desire TO fight. Then open the
hive, smoke gently and you may lift
the combs one after another.
Many people have kept bees. but
did not succeed on account Of i. the
worm moth. but worms very rarely. IL
ever, destroy colony of bees in nor.
NAL condition.
