Germany's Future Ruler As Different From Kaiser As Night Is From Day
Berlin, March 23 Crown Prince Frederick William will succeed to the imperial throne and is described as a royal democrat and model family man who differs from the kaiser in politics and temperament. He pursued Cecelia of Mecklenburg Schwerin in a love match and remains a modern, practical, civilian royal who favors technical study and practical work over military pomp. The piece argues he will be a strong, original ruler in a distinct style from his father.
