sent the manuscript TO Prince Won Bu-
low, who referred it to the Foreign
Office for Bureau examination. Nothing
Objectionable being reported. Prince Won
Bulow therefore initialled the article in
routine and its publication followed, without
the Kaiser's definite assent. When the SEN
sation followed, the Prince explained to the
Kaiser that he had not personally read the
interview and that if he had read it he would
have advised against its publication, he there
fore accepted the responsibility and rendered
his re ignation as CHARGE lor. The Kliser did
not accept his e sjg|nation, but permitted this
explanation to be issued, to check the unjust
attacks on himself, and to set the Chancellor
right before the public.
The foregoing is regarded rs unsatisfac-
tory, because duplicating the Foreign Office
in Acqulescing in, or not discerning, sentl.
ments causing resentment among many
nations. Some newspapers say that Prince
Won Bulow's salary should not be voted
upon, ON account of the reve alton of the
conduct Of the Fo. eign Office, indepen-
IDENTITY OF the contents Of the article.
The Kaiser has paid the Chancellor a
prolonged visit, and showed HIM uudi-
mlnlshed cordiality, and the Crown Prince
later did likewise. Some regard the For
elgn Othces statement rs arranged be-
tween the Kaiser ard Prince Won Bulow, to
save the formers face with Germans who are
indignant at the worlds criticism of him AS
n buugler, or worse, even The assertions Of
facts being questioned. The resignation Of
Herr Won Sch en-, Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Is also reported, and possibly it will be neces-
sary that the Chancellor should renew his
resignation, since the country does not imi-
tate the kalser's condonatIon, many instead

Ii is understood that the Kaiser handed the
manuscript to Baron Won Jenisch, who il at
tached 30 his suite, as the representative Of
the Foreign Office, while he is travelling, with
instructions 10 send it 10 Prince Won Bulow,
The Baron described IL Ms an article, not MS an
interview, and the Prince therefore did not
give it his personal attention, but re-.
ferred it to his private secretary, who
did not examine it. and s-nt it TO the
Foreign Office in Herr Won Schoen's
absence, the ~latter's suhordinates did not de-
tcct its importance and returned it to the
writer through one of the Imperial Secreta-
ries, and thusit emerged gaily into the world,
infuriating the Russians, French, Dutch, and
japanese. chilling the British, irritating the
Germans and undermining the confidence of
all Germany 5 neighbours in her trust orthi-
ness.
Adyices from Coustantinople state that
Turkeys programme for tin. conference has
been teleglaphed to her Ambassadors for
communication to tho signntories of the
Berlin treaty. This is regarded rs a victory
for Sin Gerard Lowther over Baron Won
Rieberstein, who wished to delay it pending
Turkeys completion of direct negotia-
tons.
