WON'T HEAR NJ. JAURES.
French Socialistic Leader Declared
from Speaking in Berlin.

Berlin, July 6.-Chancelor Won Bulow tele-
graphed to Prince Radolin. the German Am
bassador at Paris. to-day to inform NJ Jaures'
the French Socialist leader, that the German
government thought it best to debar him from
speaking in Berlin on July 8, as 1t had been an
nounced he intended to do
The invitation to NJ. Jaures came from the
Socialist executive committee ruling the party
and was designed to advance the Socialist op-
position to the governments Moroccan policy
and to demonstrate the smarlties of view on
foreign questions of Socialists OF all countries.
The subject chosen the task of the Social
Democracy in the preservation of the worlds
peace and the solidarity Of the international
proletariat Allusions had been made in the
Reichstag by Chancellor Bulow to the con-
trasts between Herr Bebel. the German Socialist
leader. and NJ. Jaures, to the disadvantage of
Herr Bebel, and an account has been circulated
in the newspapers, and not denied, that the En-
peror made complimentary annexation the

non-socialistic parties some public ques-

papers intmated that NJ. Jaures would not be
allowed to speak the idea not accepted gem

Whether Herr Bebel will speak in Paris as
also announced is not certain. Herr Bebel him.

forbade Herr Bebel from speaking in Paris six
years ago. and the German government pro-
hibited Herr Bueb, a member of the Reichstag
from speaking on the French side of the frontier.

numerous in most of the Continental States.
Nevertheless. the exclusion of NJ Jaures is GER

Herr Singer who next to Herr BebeI is the

or the government is ridiculous and is a con-
fessiOn of weakness
The Chancelor's telegram to Prince Won RADIO
| lin follows:
The press has announced that Herr Jaures
VIII appear before the Socialistic meeting here
on July y. Against the personality of Herr
Jdures nave nothing to say. 1 respect his
views on foreign policy and not infrequently
agree with him. am glad that on several oc-
caslons he has promoted friendly relations be-
tween Germany and France. The personal value
| or Herr Jaures is not considered, but the DO
ntlcaI role placed upon him. The leading organ
of the Social Democracy in Germany the 'eVor-
WaeFts, has announced that the assembIage
planned is the beginning of the immediate infiu-
ence or the Social Democracy on foreign policy
ana that war of the classes will be promoted
upon an international foundation. Still more
clearly is the aggressive intention of the pro-
1noIers OF this meeting expressed in the organ
or the so-called scientific socialism the new
society, which says:
The revolution has dynamited the Russian
French alliance Now il becomes the HISTORICAL
task or the German Social Democracy TO do for the
RUSSIA are no longer able TO do TO protect them
from exaggerated claims by the of force as the
result OF imperialistic Germany's policy.
This is the outspoken direction in which this
demonstration leads. The German Socialists
would use the presence of Herr Jaures In Ber-
| lin TO cover by his person, their hostile en-
deaVors against the state and national inter-
eSts. The imperial government cannot refrain
rrom using the means at its disposal to pre-
vent the party from seeking TO destroy the ex-
| isting and constitutionally established order.
Chancellor Won Bnlow cites instances of the
French governments interdiction OF speeches
which it had been announced were to be made
by members of the German Reichstag. and then
says: Boo
Even although it were to be expected that
Herr Jaures would have the tact TO avoid any,
thing that might be unpleasant for the Ger
man and French governments, one cannot have
similar confidence in the German organizers of
the meeting. Nearly year ago Herr Jaures
had an opportunity of convincing himself at
Amsterdam of how far behind the more practi-
the German Social Democracy stands in it's con-
Trajectory, doctrinaire behavior.
In such circumstances the Franco German
understanding would gain nothing by the prob
able course OF events at the proposed meeting
and therefore consider 1t advisable that the
public appearance of Herr Jaures in Berlin
shall not take place.
