Personal Government

Many Matters Are Delayed
Until Messengers Return
AWAITS HIS SIGNATURE

Berlin, March 19.-The extent of personal
government in Germany is realized only
when the emperor leaves the country.
His public absence causes a shrinkage of
activity. The essential administrative or
ders and documents that need special at
tention are forwarded to the sovereign.
Departures from routines business and
new projects must wait until he can go
into them at first hand without reading
details. Leaving out the fresh business
the emperor must sign, if he does not
read them, many papers. army and navy
commissions. appointments of various
kinds and departmental DEGREES. These
papers are carried to him by officers OF
the reserve employed as messengers of
diplomatic service. They belong to the
chasseurs corps of the army. Major Cen
eral Won Plettinburg is in Immediate
charge of them and is regarded as being
in a high degree honorable and confident
ial.
About "a messengers are regularly on
duty Every day since the emperor left
for the Mediterranean one of these mes
sengers in civilians dress has left Chan
celler Won Buelow's residence with a
bundle. One awaited for him at Dover,
two at Vigo and another at Gibralter.
Eight messengers are going or coming
with documents in affairs of supreme i'm
portance if such should arise, two or
even three messengers will travel in COM
pany as a single messenger might meet
with mishap.
