ROASTING IN BAD TASTE
HIS EFFORT TO MAGNIFY his
WORK PERFORMED IN CHINA

berlln. Aug. LI.-SinCe the funeral of
the Dowager Empress Frederick this
has been Field Marshal Count Won
Waldersee's week. Immediately after
the interment Of the remains a chorus
OF criticisms Of Won Waldersee broke
forth n the press, owing to his speech
at Hanover, etc. Papers of the most
different shades are weary of Won Wal
dersee's taIkativeness, which is regard

sion to other nations. whose names
paled in China" but as magnifying the
Chinese campaign far beyond its actual

''paled." The agree that it could only

"" Even these papers advise him to

one Of the most interesting differences
drawn from Waldersee's speeches is
that he hopes to become Count Won
BCelOW's successor as chancellor. This
as widely believed, bat anyone who saw
how bent and weary Won Waldersee
looked in the funeral procession can
nOC credit the story.
One Of the sharpest criticisms of Won
Waidersee comes from the Cologne
Nolks Zeitung, a leading centrist organ,
which compares MIN to Dr. Won MIGUEL,
the former minister, and refers to him
as playing the role of a secret Genen-
kanzier (anu-chaucelor). The paper
asks whether Won Buelow regards il
in Germany interest that Won Wal
Nersee should make such speeches, add

Must Stop Talking.
Ire article closes sharply as follows;
Either the nation viii have to accept
the chanCeliOrShip Of Won Waldersee or
he must stop talking"

The national liberal papers criticise
the speech unfavOrably. The Muen-
lCner Allegemaine Zeitung saws il is
tactless. and the National Zeitung re-
fers to its ''VaingloriOus challenging
tone"

The tariff bill continues to be dis
cussed IN a lively manner. The most
Interesting event this week in connec-
ton with the tariff agitation was the
declaration of she Central association
against maTlmal and minimal duty on
cereals. anC the agra-ians were there
too. The declaration so enraged the
KreuZ Zeitung that the paper threat
ened that the agrarians would vote to
abolish the iron duties which are most
oppressive to agriculture and to then
wipe out all protection on manufac-
Uled goods. The Deutsche Tages lei

Breach is Threatened.
The above controversy seems to por-
tend breach between the manuSac-
tuners and dgTariaus. which may have
decisive influence upon the tariff leg

ed by Germany, says. The imperial

The Post does not believe that the
