The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-08-20

Berlin, Aug. 17-Since the funera'
of the Dowager Empress Frederick
this has been Field Marshal Count
o Waldersee week. Immediately
after the interment of the remains a
chorus of criticism Of Won Waldersee
broke forth in the press, owing to his
speech at Hanover, etc. Papers of
the most different shades are weary
of Won Weldersee's talkativeness,
which is regarded as not only in bad
taste, in the allusion to other ma
tions, whose names paled in China .
but as magnifying the China cam
paign far beyond it's actual import
ance. 1t is a curious fact that many
papers are discussing which nation
o Waldersee meant by the one
whose name paled." They agree
that it could only have been Great
Britain. Indeed, reference is regard
ed as being so direct as to be highly
impolitic. Anglophobia papers, how
ever, rejoice that Won Waldersee Eek
pressed himself frankly" Even those
papers advise him to speak briefly.
or not at all"
ences drawn from Won Waldersee's
speeches, is that he hopes to become
Count Won Buelow's successor as
chancellor. This is widely believed,
but any one who saw how bent and
weary Won Waldersee looked in the
funeral procession cannot credit the
story.
One of the sharpest criticisms of
Won Waldersee comes from the Co
logne Volks Zeitung, leading centrist
organ, which compares him to DR..
Won Miguel, (former finance minister)
and refers to him as playing the role
of secret Genen-Kanzler" (anti-chan-
cellor}. The paper asks whether Won
Buelow regards it in Germany's in
terest that Won Waldersee should
make such speeches, adding:
IF things go on in this amer 1t
will be impossible to maintain Ger
many's policy at all. If a sig gag
course is bad enough in international
politics, much more must many cooks
spoil the broth in diplomatic affairs
The article closes sharply as follows:
Either the nation will have to ac-
rent the c%hancellorship of o VALID
ersee or he must stop talking
Hamburgher Nachrichten (national
liberal) disposes of o Waldersee
rather savagely, 1t says: His Han
over speech by no means shows ms
illness for the chancellorship. 1t is
unstatesmankke for him to boast OF
diplomatic achievements in China IN
form directly wounding to other ma
tions.'
Referring to Won Waldecsee's ex-
preston. +Other nations paled While
the German name mounted higher,
Hamburger Nachrichten continued:
1Such vain glorious expressions un'
necessarily draw the attention OF oM
rivals to us. 1t mobilizes then
against us, the effect of which We
must feel very shortly" 1t regards
the speech as calculated to fostel
anti-German feeling in the foreign
powers causing fresh suspicious tt
be aimed at Germany" .
The national liberal papers crit
else the speech u~nfavorably. Tn
Muencener Allgemeine Zeitung say
it is tasteless, and National Zeitun!
refers to It's vain glorious, challens
ing tone"
The conservatives defend vo.
Waldersee's u~tterances, but Berlii

by pleading it was a Confidential, il
formal and wholly extemporar

F. B. Dennie e Co., Wholesale Grocers
Minneapolis, MINI.
Dear Sirs: After using forty ounces
of your strychnine or wolf poison this
fall and winter, we take great pleasure
in saying that it is the best poison we
have ever seen or used. We get more
wolves and coyotes with an ounce
bottle of it than we generally get with
a dozen of the common grades.
When all stockmen realize that this
poison is all that is claimed for it,
and use it as we will continue to do,
we will then have less wolves to con.
tend with. We hope you will advertise
this poison and push the sale of it as
the wolf question is a problem which
we all have to deal with alike.
Yours, respectfully,
JAS.AR. HAYNIE,
Foreman, Hysham Cattle Company.

Gentlemen: Enclosed please find
check for strychnine bought Of your
agent this SPRING. We have used every
brand Of strychnine we could get for
years with poor results, but am glad
to say that this has proven highly
satisfactory. We have gotten as high
as twenty-fo1r grey wolves with one
ounce of the strychnine, and the best
feature of it, is they are found close to
the bait.
Kindly. forward us a pound of the
strychnine att once, by mail.
Yours truly,

An attempt was made early today to
wreck the Northern Pacific train

placed across the track and the train

There Is NO clue to the wreckers.

terminate the wolf than any ether

all others will do the same.
