A VindicatiOn of the
German Emperor.

Berlin Jan 3l-The FuerSten Core
spondenZ, which is read by the Emperor
the Crown Prince, Chancellor Won Bue
low and other august personages. an
nounces cOnspicuously the coming publ
cation of IA book entitled William the
Second which is strong defence of the
Emperor and eXonerates him from the
authorship of the famous kurger tele-
gram. The author of the book, Adolf
Stein, in a long explanation states that
the telegraph did not originate with the
Emperor but that it was a well-consider-
ed answer by the foreign office to an in
qury from the Transvaal and was. in
fact, a roundabout way of refusing Ger
man intervention in South Africa.
The writer goes on to say that the EN-
peror objected to the telegram but al
lowed himself to be 'overruled by his Of
ficials and for u years remained silent
and bore the blame while working inces-
sanity to prevent the worst conse-
quences of his advisers blunder
The book also represents the Emperor
as the scapegoat of an incompetent bu-
reaucracy in the crisis of June. 1905.
and in recent months, and is full of spe-
cial pleadings for the misunderstood and
msrepresented Emperor.
The telegram referred to was one sent
by the German Emperor to President
Kruger on Jan. 8. 1896. in which the En-
peror expressed his sincere congratula-
tions on the suppression of the Jameson
raid. In his telegram the Emperor said
Il express my sincere congratulations
that, supported by your people and with
out appealing for help to friendly powers
You have succeeded. by your own ener
getic action against the armed band:
which invaded your country as disturber!
of the peace, and have thus been enabled
| to restore peace and safeguard the indie
| pendence of your country from attacks
