 As is known, the German Government under Count von Caprivi issued on the occasion of Prince Bismarck's visit to Vienna to attend his son Herbert's wed ding, circular note to all the German ambassadors abroad saying that Prince Bismarck was private gentleman. and was to be treated accordingly, and that his views were no longer of any weight. With regard to this decree, Prlrce Bis marck once said:
 That Caprivi should assert that un- derstood nothing of politics, and that he should have official y communicated the statement to foreign countries. was mo- thing to me. It could only disgrace him.
