Berlin, Jan. g. Baron SpecH Won

Calcutta, has been appointed charge

absence of Ambassador Won HOlleben

regards the business at Washington so
important at present as to require a
special substitute for the ambassador.
The inference naturally follows that
Baron Speek Won Sternberg is to sue
coed Dr. Won Holleban as ambassador
should the latter's health prevent his
return. This inference is confirmed by
the fact that Chancellor Won Buelow
months ago was understood to have
the baron in view for DR.. Won Hole
ben's ultimate successor. Besides,
President Roosevelt, it is reported
here. two months ago expressed his
approval Of Baron Speck Won Stern
