ut Bremen. The .missile struck the
kaiser on the check, and proves to
haye been piece of iron doorplate.
An official bulletin was issued
Thursday describing the wound to
the kaiser by the missile thrown ut
Bremen. 1t follows:
The wound is on the right check,
and is one and half inches in length.
IL passes over the zeygoma and has
the character of confused wound.
There has been much bleeding. but
the wound has been closed with ban
dagcs without being sewed. His ma
Jesty passed good night.
Inquiries. congra tulatious and con-
dolenccs poured in throughout the
day from the whole diplomatic corps,
including the United States embassy,
as well aS from many thousands of
Germans, including the municipalities
OF Berlin, Charlottenberg. Potsdam,
and koenigsberg.
The opinion prevails that the eln-
pcror will suffer much pain and prob
ably some fever and inflammation for
the next few days and that il will re-
quire at least fortnight before the
wound is healed. Prof. Won Berg

The German press Thursday calmly
comments upon the event. The only
paper which has thus far cndeavorcd
TO inculpate the socialists is the Deut-

that Wciland has become crazcd with

Wciland's examination proved that
he was not responsible for his ac-
