One of. the strangest atoriei that has been given birth by the great war is that of the Island of :Hem, the leasing of lvh.ich to a German ln. •i, u •sed recently discussed was 1 d n om.Y company Y 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 govezinanen,t knew the #lame of the German company -holding the lease. It knew, moreover, that the rent Was about live shillings and six pence 'a week a that steps had been. taken to cancel tlzia dootlmsnt; that for some weeks British troops had' been on the island. Whether Prince Prince Blucher and family , had moved from the manor house was not made clear. The popular outcry against` the Prince, in the,opinion of the Lon- don ,press• generally, is unjustified, but The Times remarks rather sar- castically that th'e .public might be told .a little more about the Ger- man company which was able to ac- Citlir>l° 80 ;cheaply s0 'tnttch ,good farm and pasture land, together with nu- merous cottages, not . tot mention the manor' house.
