CAUSE OF much' AGITATION
Pewseasinn Is flopped at Start at

Perxalttlnjg Deal.
(CorrespondenoA of The Associated Press.)
LONDON, Dec, 7. -One of the strangest
stories that has been given birth by tha
great war is that of the Island of Herm,
tha leasing of which to a German com
pany was recently discussed In the House
of Commons. The leas has been ter
minated and British troops are billeted
on the island, but the question Is still
being asked, why Was Kngland ao lax as
to rent fcr a song an Island larger than
Heligoland, within en hours steaming
of Kngllsh shores?
Herm is one of tha lesser channel islsnda
and at one time supported! a considerable
population. It la a beautiful spot, with an
attractive shell beach. In is it wag
leased by the crown for $70 a year to
tha "West Bank LlcWnltx, Ltd.." which
In turn (.leased It to Prince Blucher von
Wahistatt, a daaoendant of tha Illustrious
Blucher of Waterloo and himself a Ger
man. Tha prince ami his family lived
quietly for years In tha manor house on
tha Island, Incurring tha great displeas
ure of those who sought to ramble over
tha place by closing all eave one narrow
pathway on the beaoh. and plastering
about many warnings to trespassers.
Children llora, There.
Children were bem to the princess
there she Is ef the Russian ryal family
-and ana of these, . a "boy," 'became a
naturalised British subject. At no time
was the prince suspected of using his
homo In any operations agaAst England;
but when the mar broke out tha matter
became ona ' of natural agitation, cul
minating In the home secretary being
asked for an explanation by Sir William
Bull. ........
The explanation waa brief. The govern
ment knew tha name of tha German com
pany holding tho lease; It knew moreover
that tha rent was about S shillings six
Panoe a weak; that steps had been taken
to cancel thfa document; that. for some
weeks British troops had been on tha
Island. . Whether Prlnoe Blucher and;
family had moved from tha manor house
was not made clear. . ..
.Tha popular outcry against tha prince,
1ft the opinion of the London press gen
erally, la unjustified; but the Times re
marks rather sarcastically that tha pub
lic might ba told a little mora about tha
German company which was able to ac
quire so cheaply so much good farm and
pasture land, together with numerous
cottages, not to mention tha manor house.
It also pointed out that tha Island la

Missing Man to Get
His Team of Horses
NORTH PLATTE. Neb., Dec. 20. -The
mysterious disappearance from near hare
laat August of Vernon Con net t, a young
man traveling through tha country with
a team and covered wagon,' was cleared

Roberts, son of Mre. Clayton by a for
mer, marriage,' and the body burled. in a
place of which they hava no knowledge.
The motive for the crime, the Claytons
aver, was to seoure possession of the
team of valuable horses owned by the
traveler. Roberts was a convict at the
stats penitentiary and the alleged crime
wss committed while he was out on pa
role. Iter he was returned to the prison
for breaking hts parole. Ks was brought
hers two weeks ago and is now in the
county Jail. At tha penitentiary, prior
to being brought here, Roberts admitted
selling tha Connett horses, but said they
were-dellrerd to him by Clayton, whom
he accused of the crime. For weeks there
has been an active search for the body
of Connett, who came from tha eastern
part of the stats, where he has Influen
