Paris, Aug. 18, 6:05 a. m.—The cir disappearance of the body of Prince Maximilien of Hesse, whose relatives invoked the aid of the Pope in an effort to obtain this informa- ton, are disclosed by a writer in the Petit Parisien. The writer asserts that the prince was shot in the groin | during an engagement between a Saxon detachment and an English pa- trol near Goderwaersvelde, in north- ern France early in the war. The prince was found by Trappist monks and taken to their monastery where he died soon after. The monks were ordered to evacuate the monas- tery and Father Bernard, visiting the cloister on the following day, found that the body of the prince was miss- ing. Later the prince's family appealed to the Pope to obtain information as to the disposition of the prince's bod but without succe: The Petit Par- isien writer says the body reposes in a humble cemetery in Hazebrouck, that it was kept two days in a house there, was once interred but exhumed at night and finally buried in a coffin costing thirty francs, which were ad- anced by a poor man out of pity. Prince Maximilien was 20 and the son of the youngest sisier of Emperor Willlam of Germany. | Previously it has been stated that he was fatally wounded in an engage- ment near Mont Descats on Oct. 12, 1914, and that the body was buried in a monastery. He was a sub-lieu- tenant in an infantry regiment. —_———— LIMITATION OF CLAIMS.
