Brilliant Gathering at Doorn

Amsterdam, May 3.

Never before has the Chateau of Doorn seen such a crowd of royal guests as will be present tomorrow on the occasion of the wedding of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia, grandson of former Kaiser Wilhelm, with Grand Duchess Kyra of Russia, daughter of Grand Duke Cyril who as the head of the Romanoff dynasty proclaimed himself Czar of all Russians in 1924, The alliance between two mem-hers of the formerly ruling dynasties Hohenzollern and Romanoff is an international event even today.

The ceremony will take place in the modest private chapel and will be consecrated by Pastor Bruno Doehring of Potsdam.—Trans-Ocean
