ANOTHER ROYAL
WEDDING NEAR
Kaiser's Fifth Son to Make First
Morganatic Marriage Among
Recent IFohenzollerns.
(Associated press Mail special.l

DbtsDlN, June lf.--Ine TACT that
Hohenzollern princes have never been
given 10 long engagements leads an in
terested pnblic TO believe the marriage
Of Emperor Williams fifth son, Prince
oskar, to the Countess Ina Marie Won
-Leyetzow win be celebrated
shortly. No date, however, has yet
been set. The engagement was an.
nouneed, as reported by cable, on May
20, to the surprise Of Berlin society,
since IL means morganatic marriage,
contrary to the traditions of the Ho.
henzollern family.
There are plenty of instances where
that tradition was broken, but this will
be tho first time in sixty years that any
of the Hohenzollerns have married be-
meath their rank. King Frederick viii
liam III himself did so in 1924 when he
married the Countess Harraeh after the
death of his first wife. Prince Adal-
bert, nephew Of Frederick William Nv,
did so when he married the Viennese
dancer, Therese Elslar. Another and
the latest instance is that of Prince
Albrecht, brother Of Frederick William
Nv, who married Fraulein Won Rauch,
daughter Of former minister of war,
in 1853.
True Love Match.
The Empress is widely credited for
obtaining the Imperial sanction of
Prince Oscars intention to marry the
Countess Ina, for she believed II TO be
a true love match. She knew the young
woman well, for she had served as her
maid Of honor until 1913, when the
close attachment between her and the
Prince is said to have resulted in her
resignation of service. She is described
as tall and graceful, beautiful and Of a
sunny temper. While her rank is that
of lower nobility, her family lineage
has been traced back as far as 1854 to
one Bernhardus de Bsssewicze, and the
title of Count dates from 1926. She un-
doubtedly will win some new title when
she becomes the Emperor's daughter-in.
