Austrian Papers View of Meeting of
Mr.. Morgan and wilhelm.

VIENNA, July 6.-The Neue Freie Presse
has published a satirical editorial on the
fact that ]. Pierpont Morgan took lunch
con with Emperor William on board the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern at Kiel, July
3. The paper remarks: Without his
check book Mr.. Morgan would never have
been the Emperor's guest"
The article harps throughout on the
probabilities of misfortune overtaking the
Napoleon of finance" and says that,
gilded by the imagination, his trusts ap-
pear to be excellent, but that the first
moment public confidence is disturbed the
system will undergo a severe trial. The
Neue Freie Presse concludes by saying
Gould a thought reader have penetrated
the secret recesses of the minds of En-
eror William and his guest what startling
contrasts might he have not discovered.
In Emperor Williams mind, perhaps, a
yearning for fame and splendor; in that of
Mr. Morgan the hope of new trusts and
rising prices. How fortunate il is that
social politeness wells such opposites.'

10 find a compromise between satisfying the
desires Of Washington as set forth by
Judge William II. Taft. Governor of the
Philippines. and relieving the Holy See
from direct responsibility for the with

have been discussed by Vatican authorities.
The most acceptable of these is that the
generals OF the four religious orders con-
cerned. having been informed of Washing
tons request, shall themselves order the
withdrawal Of their dependents. who now
number about 500. This plan would necessi-
tate a letter from the general of each or

10 this action or the insertion OF a clause
IN the contract between Judge Taft and
the Vatican that steps 10 this end viii be
taken Immediately by the generals when
they are aware of the wishes of the United
States
The Vatican would thus be under no
odum. the Pope merely accepting an ac-
counpliShed fact.
