Ssnrsss Frederick. his mortal enemy before
M common estrangement from tho young
rr,neror. He will entertain shortly several
.siasrated journalists. also his mortal ene-
~ies before his fall from power. Tho party
:pl include Hiord Lorenzen. editor Of tho
Wis,d, in Copenhagen. and three or four Ger
E.ns and EnClishmen. 1t is expected that on
Afo nccasion tho Prince will allow to be-
.,me. known his intentions rs to entering
X Rechstsg as National Liberal leader.
~';sh. although said to havo been declared to
Syeral Of his fellow deputies already. are gen.
rally regarded MS still uncertain. At Christ
mas the whole Bismarck family will hold
nunion at Fricdrichsruhe. In informing
kend Of this arrangement few days ago the
Prince remarked gloomily:
'"This will be probably the last opportunity
hr all OF us to get together this side OF the
sraye. God alone knows who will be missing
1t Christmas. lS0o.'
The Priuce's apprehensions doubtless con-
earn his wife. as his own health Is fairly good.
The Princess, however. Is very feeble. and she
lcses strength every day. Bismarck Is anxious
and cnreworn In consequence Of hor growing
illness. and should he decide finally to abstain
from all activity In politics. solicitude for her
would be his reason.
Berlin continues to be agitated by the recent
financial crashes and several movements have
been started to discipline tho Bourse and the
Hebrews WHO nre supposed to be generally re-
sponsiblo for the rottenness OF much of the
city's speculative enterprises. Despite official
denials in detail it is still asserted that Prince
Henry Of Prussia. against the express orders
Of tho Emperor. had 100000 marks with
H;rschielj 4 Wolff Most Of tho agitation has
t4an transformed into a Jew-baitng move
urn,. at the hcad Of which is the notorious
Pastor Stoeckcr. removed from his office Of
court Chaplain some time ago on account OF
his consciousness in anti-Semitic politics.
soscker Is making virnent speeches against
the Jews almost every evening and has
aroused such a race prejudice that consider
able boycott OF small Jewish banking firms
has been organized and ia growing constantly
in power. That this movement is likely to
sggnvate the recent troubles is already ap-
parent as several OF the boycotted firms have
been hard pressed by the withdrawal OF
Gentle depositors from all connection with
them.
Tho Berlin Bourse. as it Is controlled mostly
by itch Jews. and is represented in tho press
by editors Of Semitic origin. Is an object OF vio-
lent denunciation on the part Of Conservative
and National Liberal dailies. Demands for
Government control aud for the prohibition Of
speculation in futures where necessaries OF life
are concerned. have been made from many in
1uential quarters and National Liberal depu-
ties have come forward with formal request
that some such measures be brought before
the present Reichstag. Any banker who. with
out special permission shall sell securities de-
posted with him. it is asked. shall be liable to
aterm In states prison. ....-.-4.y .
The Conservatives are also comforting with a
view to getting II bill for Government control
xnd publication OF the Bourse before the
l'eish.tag. They hope to obtain the support Of
the Free Conservatives and Clericals for their
bill. and count uron that OF the National Liber-
ais thinking that the details OF their measure
will harmonizes with tho formulated de-
nands VI the hitter.
The Erpuazei'tpy and other dyed-in-the- wool
Conservative sheets give statistics to show
that the Berlin Bourse is a power OF such rapid
G'pwtl and voracity that 1t is likely soon to
render Germany the prey Of speculators to an
even greater extent than is England or
America
In 1920 the Berlin Bourse dealt in but eleven
stocks the London Bourse in thirty: in 1850.
the Berlin Bourse in 6l3. the London Bourse
ip l,335: in 1880. the Berlin Bourse in 1877.
The London Bourse III 1880. Berliners assert
that their Bourse will soon overtake London's.
At all events. the Berlin Bourse is probably
able 10 take care Of itself, rs the above figures
Know.
The Berlin police have arrived. rather tartily.
at the conclusion that the murderer Of tho
WOMAN Nitsch". In the Holzmarktstrasse. was
tho sane mysterious ripper who cut Pauline
Widen. also woman Of the town. behind tho
h,ic,.,:n railway station on Feb. 81. Despite
h.r terrible wounds the Widen girl lived two
weeks after the encounter. She described the
man who attacked her as about % years old
an1 hhvins light hair. n small moustache. and
slight but rthletic figure. This description
corresponds exactly With that offhe man seen
by Il n!ht Waterman 10 lenve Sitsche's rooms
shortly after sho had been mutilated. The
nI.n who fi!.c'i tho Widen woma: told her \
That he had lern IL soldier in Berlin. IN tho
