PRINCE HOHENLOEFIE'S ENEMY
Baron Kietler, the reactionary minis
ter of the interior and governor of
niesWelg-Holstein, is mainly respon-
siole for the system Of explosions. He
Is bitter enemy Of Prince Hoheniohe.
TO whom he attributes his downfall a
couple of years ago. The situation thus
brought about is one which the chan
cellor considers he cannot further with
self-respect follow the policy of the
emperor unless the emperor calls s.
halt, which the people surrounding
him do not believe he will do. There
Is powerful clique working inside

newspaper reports and individual re-
ports all agree that the situation be-
tore the expulsions was harmless. Tho
expulsion of the Danes is already doino
considerable harm to German trade
and German exporters are bitterly
complaining, and are trying to concii-
late their Danish customers. Two we'll
known Berlin export firms have sent
an open letter to their Danish clienfs
which illustrates the feeling of the
commercial classes here The letter
says:
In view OF the excited state of feeling nro

Germans this excitement is considered perfect-
