New Ambassador Is Persona
Non Grata to Emperor
William.
OBJECTIONS PERSONAL.
Said to Have Snubbed Prince
Henry Several Years
Since.

Washington, March %. The Ger
nan government has declined to re-
1--WE DR.. David Jayne Hill in the ca
pacity of American Ambassador to
succeed Charlemagne Tower, whose
resignation has been accepted to
take effect upon the qualification of
his successor.
DR.. Hill is at present American
Minister to The Hague, and was for
merly First Assistant Secretary of
State under the administration of
Secretary Hay.
The objection to DR.. Hill is one
purely personal to Emperor William,
who has simply caused it to be made
known that the American diplomat
ist is persona non grata to him. The
reason for the Emperor's objection
is connected with the visit to Amer
lea several years ago of his brother,
Prince Henry, the ranking admiral
of the German navy. DR.. Hill at
that time was First Assistant Secre-
tary Of State, and necessarily was
brought into official contact with the
distinguished foreign visitors. Just
what he did or did not do to give
offense is not known here.
A perplexing feature of the case
is presented by the fact that last
November the German government
let it be known that DR.. Hill would
be cordially received as American
Ambassador to Berlin. At that time
Ambassador Tower, after the Presi
dent had sought in vain to dissuade
him from such a course, reached
the decision that proper considera
ton for his own private business in
terests and the welfare of his chill
dren, whose education he deemed il
necessary to perfect in America
obliged him to insist upon the ac
ceptance of his resignation.
The real reason, it is said, is the
opinion of the Kaiser that Hill is not
big enough.
