In Milan

The Villa Rocabella near Locarno, Switzerland, was recently leased by a mysterious tenant, a lean, fox-faced German. Last week he motor-boated from Swiss Locarno across Lake Maggiore to Italian Stresa and there took the train for Milan. The next night he returned past Lake Maggiore, hurried on to Lucerne, where he doffed his incognito and admitted that he was the former Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Germany.

Smiling enigmatically, he refused to affirm or deny rumors that he is about to petition the League of Nations to permit his father to quit Holland for Italy. Allegedly Wilhelm II desires this change of residence on account of the delicate health of "the Empress Hermine," as his consort is now referred to at Doom.
