The idea of the Kaiser, which is known tn
ne cordially approved by Prince Buow is to
strengthen the relations between Germany and
emma so as TO counteract far as possible the
growing influence of England and Japan in The

are becoming more and more detested by the
Shinese every day. and being firm believer in the
latent strength Of the huge Celestial Empire, holds
that his support at Peking Just would be
greatly appreciated by the Chinese government

JEWISH ATTACHE FOR EMBASSY
Emperor William never loses any opportunity of
publicly manifesting his good will toward the
Jewish race. and has just given another evidence
thereof by opening Up the diplomatic service Of
Germany to Hebrews Baron Won Goldschmidt

child at Frankfort and grandson Of the late Baron
and Baroness William Rothschild. has just been
appointed by the Emperor attachs TO his en-
selected precisely this particular mission rather
than any other indicates that he is anxious that
the young attache should be well received. For in
no capital Of Europe do the Jews enjoy such alto
gether exceptional social advantages In London.

6assoons, etc, ali not only move in the highest
circles but likewise enjoy a considerable amount
Of social influence and prestige They are to be
found at the very best houses, are IN great favor

in a social sense, Is entirely unknown
Until the only Hebrew in the diplomatic
service OF the Kaiser has been Baron Max Open

Hohenlohe, when Chancellor Baron Oppenhelfn:

super1unerary and In spite OF his good work as an
explorer of Mesopotemia cannot be said to nave
