Viscount Hayashi, Japanese ambas-
sador to London, is one of the most
remarkable diplomats ever credited to
the court of st. James. The British

GERMAN OFFICERS IN TROUBLE
Lieut.. 5iIse Charged with DiVuIglne
Professional Secrets.

Army circles in Germany are much
stirred up by a novel from the pen Of
Lieut.. Bilse, attached to the train ba-
tallion, in which things are divulged
which hitherto have been regarded
as professional secrets. So faithful
are the characterizations that identi-
ties are patent. Indignation is chiefly
directed against the revelations made
regarding the maltreatment of pri-
Yates. The author has been ar
rested for Insulting his superior Of
ficers and revealing service secrets"
1t is declared that Lieut.. Bilse, who is
not over popular among his brother
officers, published the book from mo-
tives Of personal revenge. u
