When the Dukes Message of deolination,ss
was received sit was reported that the Y
Kaiser would abandon his visit. W. This n
has proved untrue, an It was the KaiSerEs
hinEelf who proposed the meeting and a tS8
was therefore impossible to change plans.sgss

him at tho present time. There is much m
curiosity as to whether matrimonial de.s
