Foreign News: Hoch!
The ex-Crown Prince appeared of a sudden in the streets of Berlin. He had come from his vast estates at Oels in Silesia to attend a meeting of German agriculturists.
Along the Unter der Linden he walked. People stopped. Where had they seen that face before? Of whom did that walk remind them? Ah! yes, of course, the Crown Prince.
Word was passed: "There goes the Crown Prince." Presently a small crowd collected and walked at a respectful distance behind the future Emperor of Germany, if Germany is ever an Empire. A few of the more venturesome essayed a Hoch! which, being freely translated, means "Hurrah !"
