Wants Newspaper Advice.

Berlin, March S.-The kaiser has de-
cided to seek the advice Of the news
papers on the task Of governing the en-
pire. Impressed by the political troubles
of The last few months, which culminst-
ed 10 the bitter attacks made on him in
the Reichstag, the kaiser believes his
difficulties have been largely caused by
lack of information as TO the real views
of his subjects. To prevent any group
of court officials from misleading him by
systematically selecting favorable clip
pings, the kaiser has entrusted the task
of sending the clippings to elk state de-
psrtments. In this way one depart
mspt will act ss a check on the
other. 1t Is expected that the plan Of
the kaiser to keep in touch with public
opinion through the newspapers will do
mora than anything else to break up the
court clique that BIAS leng ruled the en-
pire through the ksiser.
