Questions Asked Aboutita

One of. the strangest atoriei that
has been given birth by the great
war is that of the Island of :Hem,

the House of Commons. P.he•lease
has been terminated, and British
troops are billeted on the island,
but the question is still being ask-
ed, why was England. so lax- as to
rent for a •song an island larger
than Heligoland, within an hour's
steaming of English shores.
Bern is one of the lesser Channel
Islands .and at one time supported
a considerable population. It is a
beautiful .spot, with to ,atttractive
Shell beach. In 1889 it was leased
by the Crown for $70 a year to the
"West Bank Liegnitz, Limited,"
which in .turn leased it to. Prince
Blucher von Wahls,tatt, a •desoend-
the\illustrious ' Blucher of
&Ili- 4if
Waterloo ,and himself a "German.
The Prince and his family lived
quietly for years in the manor
house on the island, incurring the
great displeasure of those who
sought to ramble over the 'place by
closing all save one narrow path-
way on the beach and plastering
about many warnings to trespass-
ers.
Children were born to the Prin-
cess there—she is of the Russian
royal family—and one of these, "a
boy, became a naturalized British
subject. At'no time was the Prince
ntspected of using his borne in' ahy
operations again/st England, - but
when the mar broke out the matter
became one of natural agitation,
culminating in the' Home Secretary
being asked' for an explanation by
Sir William Bull. •'
The expl.anatibn was b�rietf. The
