Tax Upon French Polite
ness.

PARIS. Dec. 2.-CSpccial CableEram TO The
BeeD-M. Georges Villiers in discussing
Prince Won Buelow this week said: The
Diplomatic career usually dulls the edge of
tcmperament and wears off the angles of
origiuaIties. To discuss the personality Of
Prince Won Buelow not only without acri-
mony but with that courteous urbanity
char1 cteristic of conversation in a French
salon is more than a mere exhibition Of
French politeness II is a further proof, If
any were needed, with which French op'n-
ion now views not merely the European
situation, but the very protagonist of the
diplomatic drama Of the last few months.
1t is evident that the spectacle of Prince
Won Ruelow's success in holding his own
at the head of the German chancellory
while at the beck and call Of William ii is
a view profoundly interesting and instruc-
tive"
II will be news for many, and II is evil
IDENTIFY not the least of Prince Won Buelow s
attractions for NJ. Villiers, that the present
chancellors five years OF Paris, when he
was here as second secretary, would
seem TO have imbued him with that spon-
taneous and alert manner, that real esprit
Of the good French stamp, of which NJ
ViIiers gives a long list of instances. A
member Of the Reichstag a few years age
made the interesting statement that Bue'
low thinks i'm French or Italian and ther
translates into German.

months ago, when he earned an unenviabIe
notoriety in consequence OF the unhappy

Caine.
"One of the first things that one notices
is the obvious change in the extreme
growth of New York. But the physical

commercial, political and religious ones
which confront the observer Of American

going through one of its periodical out
breaks Of commercial conscience. Com

the result is sense Of shame and humilia-

are familiar in England are rapidly dis
appearing from the rolls Of American re-
spectability. Others will follow in due

/ Politically the great changes which
noticed were in the growth OF American
imperialism. The old theory that America
/ must concern itself only with Its domestic
affairs has given place to the idea that ii
has its duties, its responsibilities, It's rights
and its privileges in relation to the nations
OF the world. The Spanish American war
was no doubt partly responsible for this
change. but q still more important factor
has been the personality Of President
