 titUde.
TOWER BLAMED IN PARIS
Foreign Office Declares Doubts Have Now Been Removed and Noth- ing Stands in Way of Ac-
 ceptance.

Berlin, March 29.-Emperor Will liam having been fully adGsed about the attitude of President Roosevelt and the feeling of the American pub lie regarding the alleged refusal of His Majesty to receive Dr. David Jayne Hill as American ambassador to Germany in succession to Char lemagne Tower has recalled all the expressions of disapproval he recently sent to President Roosevelt and would be pleased to receive Dr. Hill as am bassador.
 The emperor has caused this infor- nation to be communicated to Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 The German foreign office has sent to The Associated Press the following official declaration on the subject
 The notices which have appeared hitherto in the foreign press in regard to the Hill affair have originated in the erroneous impression that it was Intended by Berlin to recall the ap- proval given here last autumn to Mir. Hills apontment This has never been thought of It Is true that doubts subsequently arose as to whether Mir. Hill woCld foel himself comfortable in the post of American ambassador to Berlin, but these doubts have been re- moved so tn tt nothing stands in the way of MT. Hills nomination to the Berlin embassy. and he will be well come in Berlin now. as he would have been before, or as any other unobjec- tionahle representative would be who should be named by President Roose- welt
 ''It is to be stated emphatically that throughout the whole incident the ann bassador, MT, Tower has not swerved for one instant from the straight line of absolutely loyal and honorable con duct both toward his own govern ment and the Imperial German govern ment."
 Paris March 2s-Dr. David Jayne Hill when informed by The Associated Press tonight that the German for eign office had issued statement, that, although there had been some l opposition, the German government was quite willing to receive him as 1 American ambassador. declined to de- l part from the attitude of dignified re- serve which he has maintained i throughout He said: 'I must decline i to discuss any phase of this matter 1 Washington, in the end. will decide l what course shall be pursued.''
 For the last forty-eight hours Baron l Won Sternburb. the German embassa- ] dor at Washington, has heen in the l closest touch with the foreign office 1 and has cabled fully concerning the 1 matter He described the need of q l speedy arrangement of the affair and 1 President Roosevelts difficulties in meeting the emperor's inclination, and i furthermore, the unpleasant effect the whole controversy was having upor American public opinion.
 The news that the German govern. ment did not decline to receive Dr ] Hill did not come as great surpris,
 to diplomatic circles hcre. the theor, l having been held here from the begin ming that Dr. Hill, and perhaps tn, emperor himself, were the victims 0
 well -intentioned over zealousness.
 The featuN or tho affair which ha
 caused the most comment in Paris i
 the report that Ambassador Tower act
 cd as a medium of communicating {,
 Washington the objections formula te,
 against Dr. HI, which if true, accord
 ing to prominent diplomats here. woul,
 be be an irregular proceeding and cal
 eulated to place the ambassador in
 false position.
