Without Avail. ...t

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
BERLIN, With an appeal to the
copyright law for constructive art
and photography, Prince Wilhelm Won
Hohenzolern, the eldest son of the
ex-Crown Prince. filed a legal pro-
test against the reproduction of his
picture in the book OF the pseudo
prince, Harry Domela, published by
the Malik Verlag.
The princes suit, however. was re.
jected by the publishers attorneys on
the ground that according to the law
all topical pictures may be reproduced
without the special sanction of the
original. They contended that as a
member of the Hohenzollern family
the prince, who recently came into
the public limelight by reason of his
irregular participation In the maneu-
vers of the German forces Of defense,
was by no means justified suddenly
to claim the rights of a simple citi-
zen, especially as the book In question
was in no way concerned with his
person and his photograph had merely
been published to rive the reader an
opportunity Of comparing the impostor
