country which must cause him to place
personal safety and personal affections
below the public veal, According to
Count Douglas, William, while prince,

"As emperor continues the panegyrist,
"he has shown himself impervious to fat

gambling and other prodigahties. Finally,
he is averse to war, sympathizes with popu-

PROF. GEFFICKEN's CASE
A Hamburg dispatch announces that no
definite measures have yet been taken to
prosecute Prof. Geflicken. 1t is not true
that the authorities have seen written
permit from the late Emperor Frederick
authorizing Prof. Getflcken to publish
the diary. The inquiry resulted in
establishing the fact that the professor
never got copy from Emperor Frederick.

tracts. The intimate friends TO whom
Emperor Frederick gave copies of the diary
include the Grand Dukes Baden and Hesse,
Duke Ernst of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, Baron
Won Roggenbach, Prince Bernhard of
Saxe-Meiningen, Minister kriedburg,
Count Won Seckendorff, Count RADIO
linski, Gen. Won Blumenthal, Count
Won Munster, the Prince of Wales,
and King Humbert AS the inquiry mar
rows the circle of the possible sources of the
betrayal of the diary, BismarckiaD papers
become more bitter toward the ex-empress.
"Kein Frauenzimmer politik" is again their

cess to the prisoner after his examination
by Procurator Tessendorf of Leipsic.
