Later in his speech Count Won Buelow
said:

been proved by the fact that the other
powers have transferred 10 US the su-
preme command in the province of Chi

troops under the supreme command OF
any other power. We notified Russia
to that effect. A desire was expressed
in many quarters to offer tn supreme
command to Germany. We could not
be deaf TO the cali of other powers, and
in accepting the responsibility we pro-
claimed our conviction that Germany s
policy contained nothing which, from
the point of view of tie other govern

ing.
Jolly for the Gar.
THAT his majesty Of Russia-Wh0se
speedy and complete recovery we with
all Europe and with the worlo desire
with all our hearts-that this noble and
enlightened sovereign should, before All
others, put the command in our hands,
was recognized by Us with special
gratitude.
This is a fresh proof of what 1 shall
always uphold, that between d we'll
conducted German policy and we'll
conducted Russian policy, there can be
no deep and certainly no invincible an
tagOnism.
"By dispatching troops to China We
have in no way impaired our readiness
TO do battle in Europe. We declare
that we are on guard. In undertaking
the charge of the interests of other ne-
lions. acting as a lightning conductor
for the other powers, we have no de
