Max studied law at Heidelberg and Freiburg and after graduat- |ing served with the Guard-Culras- sler, Regiment in Berlin. Later he was commander of the Baden Dragoon Guards. but after 1908 did not take any post apparently because he was out of sympathy with the policy of those at the head of affairs.

The Prince had always had English friends and during the war he played a useful, part be. hind the scenes in improving the lot of the British prisoners and that of the German prisoners in Russia where he had Influence.

It seemed at one time as if he were about to assume a Regency, per haps on behalf of the Prince's eldest son, but it soon became plain that such a plan was out of the question and he handed over the power to the Socialist cellor. He then returned to his estate of Salem on Lake Constance. Doubt was thrown on the sincerity of the Prince's liberalism when a private letter he had written dur- ing the war to his cousin was published in the Swiss press.

The principal occupant of the house was a widow named Wong Ching-sheung, who had over 20 women fokis.

The gardener of the house and all the women were confined in a cubicle, and were searthed. The robbers did not bind or gag the victims, and remained in the house for only about forty minutes. The men spoke the Hakka dialect. Most of the robbers had their faces painted black, while all of them had. black handkerchiefe tied around their faces.

The booty stolen is estimated, according to a report to the police, at about $187.60.
