In the columns of the Berlin 1 "Montagspost" a curious controversy was going on recently between the editorial management and Prince Oscar, the ex-Kaiser's youngest surviving son. The paper published an article about the Prince's domiciliary arrangements, suggesting that he had used improper influence on the authorities in Potsdam to secure the eviction of the tenant from a house in which he wished to live. '"On_behalf of his Royal Highness Prince Oscar of Prussia," some general then wrote to the paper demanding, with an appeal to the Press jaw, that a "correction" should be printed in its pages. His letter closed with the following passage: "ANI that is true is that the Prince, carly in 1919, when he had to leave his house in the Wifhelmstrasse, with all his furniture, to make room for Herr and Frau Chert, inspected the house in Bornstedt, but at once declared that it would not suit him."
In its rejoinder the "Montagspost" wrote: The general can call Prince Oscar his Royal Highness as much and as often as he likes, but it is rather a strong demand from us that we should print this description in the course of a correction, since Royal Highnesses no longer exist in Germany. The claim to such obsolete titles is all the more remarkable when, in i the same connexion, mention is made of "Herr and Frau Chert.' Prince Oscar should know that Chert is not a 'Herr Chert,' but President of Germany, and is thus at present invested with the highest dignity inthe land. There was every. justification for causing Herr Oscar von Hohenzollern to give up a palace which did not belong to him."
