Emperor Frederick's Diary Proves That He
Was q Comprehensive Statesman.
BERLIN, Sept 20-The Deutsche Rundschau,
q monthly review, publishes an abstract from
the diary Of the late Emperor Frederick, regard
ing the F~ranco-German war. The details Of
the events narrated show that Frederick had
the greatest part in founding the empire, aud
that he had thought of al empire before others
had dreamed it possible. The abstract also
proves that some of the prices, especially the
Prince OF Bavaria, gave their consent to the for
nation of the empire grudeingly.
The diary commencesw with the date July ii,
1870. On the 10Th of the same month Frederick
wrote: 'My principal thought is how to carry
out a liberal organization In Germany after
peace has been secured" The diary details con-
VIBRATIONS with his father, Bismarck and Rog-
genbach on the Subject. and he wrote that
they were slowly coming around to his views.

not thought the desire for an imperial crown
was so strong among the German people, and
that he was mistaken. In 1866, in treating the
subject with such indifference. Under date OK

that only Frederick entertained the idea of act

against Bavaria. He thought it would be
better to let the suggestion emauate from the

pears to have borne fruit. Under date Of Nov.
