Berlin dispatch: The publicatloh OF
Emperor Frederick's diary is every
where recognized as an event OF ma.
tional importance. Official and political
circles, however, that are intimately
yerssd ON the innermost history OF the
construction OF the empire, have been
astounded by the publication, whilst
the whole German people are stirred to
their very depths by the revelations
which show the real greatness of the de-
ceased Emperor Frederick, his intlu-
ence in creating the empire and his no.
bic aims for its future. Extracts from
the diary were communicated to the
Deutsche Pundsehau through the Baden
statesman, Baron Won RoggenbAeh,
who was long an intimate friend OF the
late emperor and WAS much with him
during his illness at San Reno. Baron
Roggenbach, 1t seems, had the assent OF
Empress Victoria 10 the publication OF
the extracts, but neither Prince Bis.
marck nor the present Emperor William
was consulted 1t il therefore thought
