you should not forget that my
fathers age is beyond the allotted time
of the bible. He has weathered many
storms. and has had little leisure in
life, but his hardest trials have come
within the past four years, and at
time of life when he should be spared
every aggravation of anxiety. Add to
this his active, over-busy intellect, his
deep concern for every important ques-
ton of the day and more than all his
concern for Germany's prosperity, to
which he has devoted his life, to say
nothing of the deeds of his friends, and
l question if any other man has braved
,ife's tempests with better results, but
he is fast getting old. He suffers from
no organic disease. He is weakened by
time and cannot, even with the greatest
precaution, continue much longer We,
of course, are very anxious about him
and he is scarcely ever out of sight.

Will"

and Prince Hohenlohe are not on very
friendly terms.

arch nearly always makes changes,
some of more startling importance than
others. That depends upon the tenn

son to hope for the best"
