Loss Of His Famous Ring
Worries Kaiser, Is Report

Of a gold band with a dark colored
stone mounted in 1t, was the object
OF several attempts at theft during
Fredericks day. When he came to
die the Countess Lichtenau removed
IL from his hand. Frederick stirred
unensily, and said:
Her den Ring"
HE Is asking for a herring" quick
ly said the Countess, and those about
the monarch's bedside thought the re-
quest nothing more than the vagary
OF a dying man.
The loss OF the ring, according to
the legend, resulted in the disastrous
defeat OF Prussia by Napoleon. The
Countess, mindful of the old mon
arch's belief, finally yielded the ring
to Frederick Wilhelm in 1913, where
upon the tide OF fortune turned.
When Kaiser Wilhelm came to the
throne he inherited the ring along
with other jewels. and is said TO
have become "A passionate believer In
the old superstition. He has paid
heed TO many prophecies concerning
his reign, and one report affirms that
he convinced himself the stone in the
ring was the eye OF toad and
therefore the sign of unfailing
fortune.

belief in the Brandenburg ring, Ger

THE Brandenburg ring is miss

is greatly worried as a result, ac-
cordlng TO some OF those who pro-

meets the fate OF the Hohenzollern
dynasty with the famed ring. Sew

1t is said that Frederick the

written by his father, as follows:
"This ring was given to me- by my
father on his deathbed, with the re-
minder that so long as It was pre-

this would not only prosper. but
would grow and prosper"
Frederick the Great carefully
