man Crown Princess Cecile has taken
steps to divorce her husband, Fred
erick William. according to a state
ment given to. Swiss newspapers by
the former Grand Duchess Anastasia
of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin, mother Of

"One one occasion some time ago
the situation became so unbearable
that my daughter actually fed from
her home. She almost succeeded in
reaching Switzerland. Orders were
sent from Berlin to intercept her. and
she was captured at the German from
tier like a common criminal and taken
to Berlin under arrest.
MY daughter will be able to place
before the German court oyerwhelm-
ing evidence against her husband, and
will be able to prove many instances
Of the gFossest cruelty against him.
His infl6elities were numerous, and
there is abundant proof OF them. His
brutality was atrocious. On more
than one occasion my daughter was
treated with actual violence. She was
bruised and her face was dishgured by
her husbands blows"
