Fists, Ex-Imperial

The gentleman who is one day to become to all German royalists Kaiser Wilhelm IV--Wilhelm Friedrich Franz Josef Christian Olaf von Hohenzollern, eldest son of ex-Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm--had a chance to prove that he is made of the same metal as his ancestor, Frederick the Great. At Potsdam, capital of German Monarchism, the Stahlhelm, Monarchist organization, came into collision with the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold, Republican organization. Immediately there was a free fight in which the Monarchists were defeated and forced to flee. But in the middle of the scrap a tall, lanky young man with large, heavy fists began to use them with such good effect that the Republicans went down before him like ninepins. But the support he received from his comrades was scanty and soon discretion overcame valor and he too fled. Only some hours later was it known to the Republicans that the tall, lanky youth was Prince Wilhelm von Hohenzollern.
