The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-12-12

She broke off the, engagement arter ''the kaiser Camarilla,' as Wilhelm's entourage at Doorn is HOW known had attacked her for two reasons.
 Firstly, while she belongs to the o-caIled "Eader' which is the oldest and proudest aristocracy in the em- pire-her forebears were knights in Brandenburg long before the advent of the Hohenzcllerns-she is not of royal blood; therefore tc would have been d misalliance if the former kaiser had even been returned to the German throne.
 Secondly, the members of the Kaiser camaril1a" disapproved of any ren4arriage, preferring to keep the exiled monarch under their own sway without interference from wife who might look into their cards.
 As strange as it may seem, these two women-Frau Won Rochow, who lost, and Princess Hernine Of Reuss who won in the game of love-have one common emotion and uttered 1t to me in almost identical words. It Is the most bitter. undying hatred against the members oI the former kaisers entourage at the house Of Doorn-
 Right here it should be said that Frau Won Rochow has not the slight est bit of jealously or envy towards the woman who won and was led to the altar On the contrary, she all Crow' known in the Hohenzollern household as Kaiserin Hermine) in the RindeSt and most cordial terms Her grievance lies elsewhere.
 Some one has said that mans Ineanness may turn a woman into a tisress'' Frau Won Rochow has not reached that stage but she has ar rived at the point where she demands satisfaction from her calumnators. Today she took the first legal step. The whole affair now threatens to brarch out into a public scandal
 The facts of this story have been in the correspondents possession for three months, but he was unable to publish them because of ''the other woman"
 'Coward and Cad"
 While she poured out her soul and told the story of her romance in al it's intimate detailS-SOmetimes amid tears-Frau Won ROChow was abso- lutely loyal to the former Kaiser ana begged the writer not to paint him in his true Eght-namely as coward and a. cad who. after inplorinS her upon his knees to marry him, and finally winning her consent with the plea that he could not live without her. listened to the whispers Of the Camarilla- These whispers appealed to his vanity as ''Em oeror' and they persuaded the former war lord to throw over his affianced sweetheart r cold blood after having details of the wedding plans prepared for the Ger man press. Then tht eX-K2iser blamed 1t upon his aides.
 But that was only the first drop of

 Intrigue Alleged.
