annoyance and not little dismay it
caused among high pelsonages in B erl n
by the discovery that the well-kn0wh
American woman, the Countess Her
mann Won Wedel, is about to publish ID
raris aid London, her book, MY Rela
lions With His Majesty Emperor WILL
lam H." This work has once been sur
pressed in Germany.
The Countess, whose maiden name
was Emily Elizabeth Besrard, was d.
yorced from Count Hermann Wedel d
year before the Kaiser ascended ths
throne. Owing to the manner il,
which the Kaiser, then Prince Will
lam. was made to figure iD the proceed
ines. Count Hermann has found Il
more convenient to live permanently
abroad since then, although the fnc.
that he retains his commission in The
army and his membership Of the Sov-
sreien Order OF Malta, indicates tha
ais condnct was In accordance with
| the laws OF honor.
The Countess made her home TO
many years at Vienna, and is generally
understood that she is the lady foE
| whom the Prince OF Reuss, when Ger
man Ambassador to the Austrian Court,
| bought beautiful villa in the HietzDe
suburb OF Vienna.
The book conveys the impression tina
the relations between the Emperor and
the Countess have continued since hi'
accession to the throne, an impufatlol
which he reseDts.
The Countess is now woman o.
about 45, and still very attractive. sh'
ia related through her husband to mai
the nobility of Germany. Count Hei
mann's younger brother is German An
bassador at Rome, the former Milltar!
Governor OF Berlin and one OF the mos
intimate cronies of the Kaiser. Anothe
Count of Wedel is Grand Master OF tn
Horse to the Emperor; while third j
his Minister OF the Household. Inc al
yorced Countess is remembered as to'

The postal business OF . coun-

When the mails are fat business is

prosperous conditions throughout
the country are closely related to
this fact.
