gotten out at Audernach, Germany,
by the American Army of Occupation,

Which would mean, according to the

from his expectations of visit from
the White Lady, the family ghost of
the Hohenzollerns. The appearance
of the white Lady is supposed to
portend the death of the monarch
whom she visits. For many cen
turtles past stories have been told Of
her appearance before the rulers Of
Prussia just before their death.
There are many stories of the ORR
gin of this apparition. The tale
most widely accented is that the
White Lady was Conigunda, the
Countess Won Plassenburg. When but
