Prince Eitel, questioned as. to’ the me- tive for his brother’s suicide, declined to make any statement, referting the cor- respondent at the same time to the official announcement that- Joachim was suf- fering from *“a fit of excessive demen- tia.” The body was transferred to Potsdam chapel this morning. Prince Joachim was the least talented of the emperor's sons. He held the rank of captain, but accord- ing t statements now made, he was nev- er actively at the front. He leaves one son. Prince oJachim was born Dec. 17, 1890, in Berlin,” He served during the late war on both, the western and eastern fronts. During, the first eyar of the war he was wounded in the fighting in France and for.a long time it was feared that he would not recover. When he did recover bhe was transferred to the Russian front, Wwhere he had several narrow escapes from capture, and afterwards suffered a serious illness. After the defeat of the Germans there were rumors that Emperor William would abdicate in favor of Joachim. Joachim was married in 1916 to Prin- cess Marie Augustine of Anhalt, who then was just 17 years old. A despatch from Paris early in the present year said Joachim had brought a suit for divorcee. The prince during the war was ranked as a popular hero in Germany. Since the end of the war little has been heard of Joachim. One report was to the ef- fect that he hoped to come to the Urited States after the peace treaty was sgTed. HAD SUFFERED FROM GREAT MENTAL DEPRESSION Berlin, July 18.—Later advices say Prince Joachim shot himself Saturday while in his residence, the Villa Leignitz, Potsdam. He was removed to St. Jo- seph's hospital, where he died a few hours later. Joachim recently had heen suffering from great mental depression. The only member of the former im- perial famidy now in Potsdam is Eitel Frederick, 'the former emperor's second son. BRITISH AND GREEKS TO CLEAR SCUTARI PENINSULA Constantinople, July 17 (By the A.
