Hemmelmark, Germany, April 20 (M —Prince Henry of Prussia, broth- er of the former kaiser, died here today of pneumonia. Prince Henry, who was widely known in the United States for his visit there in 1902 to attend the launching and christening of his brother’s yacht *“Meteor” at Jersey City, was 66 years old and had been in poor health for several years. Prince Henry of Prussia, devoted his active life to the Fatherland in the naval service. He enlisted in the navy upon com- pleting his education in 1877. Ad- vancing rapidly through the various commissioned grades, he attained the rank of admiral in 1906 and was made chief of the active high seas fleet. Three years later, in Septem- ber, he retired from that command and became inspector-general of the navy with the rank of grand ad- miral. During the World war Prince Henry confined himself to the role of observer on various battle fronts. After the revolution in Germany he retired to his estate at Hemmels- mark, near Kiel, from which he emerged only occasionally. The prince never played much of a role politically. However, he was dispatched at various times on im- portant missions of a political nature, but always was bound close- ly by instructions from his brother %0 that he had no opinion of his own to register. - Visited United States His first assignment of this sort was in 1896, when he represented his imperial brother at the coronation at Moscow of Nicholas II of Russia. Six years later, in February, 1903, the prince visited the United States on what has been regarded as the most important diplomatic mission of his career. Delegated by his brother to attend the launching and christening of the Kalser's yacht, “Meteor,” at Jersey City, Prince Henry sailed from Germany on the new liner, Crown (Continued on Page 18) ARRANGE DEDICATION OF MASONIC TEMPLE Public Inspection of Build- ing Afternoon of Sun- day, May 12 A general program of the dedica- tion ceremony of the new Masonic temple was announced today by Sherwood H.

The Germans were understood to be willing to increase their pepara- tions offer slightly, but they were frank to intimate that they saw no real hope of the present conferenc2 reaching an accord. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, leader of ‘ the German delegation, has been mlkmz with Owen D. Young and he allied delegates at informal (‘onferencea on the situation, at the same time exploring the possibility of a 10 year agreement. He appear- ed at the Hotel George V this morning and went into econference. with Mr. Young, Thomas W. La. mont and two other reparations ex- ! perts. He looked very grave and tired. His usual smile was missing. The world-wide blame upon the Germans for wrecking the econfer- | ence, us reported in the press, or ‘the Berlin cabinet’s reported dis-- approval today seemed to have softened the German firmness. Tha delegation, however, still asserted that it was composed of “independ- | ent experts.” They said they were neither taking nor asking the cabi- |pet's instructions and continded "he_v Were seeking only mslutions which they, as experts and as Ger. | mans, could approve.
