HOHENZOLLERNS DOOMED

According to an ancient German legend the fall of the house of Hohenzollern will come when the statue of “Christ on the Cross,” a relic of the seventh century which stands in Kaysersburg, decays. The statue has been fastly decaying in the past few years, and since the war the authorities have been continuously repairing the damaged parts because of the effect of the destruction of the statue would have on the people familiar with the ancient legend.
