London. Fen. 25-Premier Asuuitf's ex-
tre1ne reticence makes a judgment on the
political situation a matter of great diff

mate advantage.
Premier ASquitf's statement that he had
not sought guarantees from the King is in
terpreted on all sides as confession that
the result OF the elections was too incon-
elusive 10 justify his asking for such
guarantees. The essence of the difficulties
facing him lies in the impossibility of

No Official Hostility to 4mer-

Berlin, Feb. 25-The German kovern-
ment is not hostile to the exhibition of ma
chinery which will be held in Berlin the
coming summer. and the phrase used by
Herr Delbrueck, Minister of the Interior
III the RsichStag on Wednesday,, that the
German government had given no moral
support TO the exhibition has been cor
rected in the record Of the Reichstak pro-
ceedings to read no official support AL
though the word moral was used in the
course of an extempore speech and ap
peared in the stenographic report. OF the
proceedings. il was not Intentional The
imperial ministry authorized the following
statement to-day:
Herr Delbrueck's explanation was the
necessary expression of official neutrality
toward undertaking which was begun
without the foreknoWledge OF the German
government. and according to whose plan
German producers had opportunity Of
bringing their manufactures into compet-
ton with foreign exhibits
II also corresponds with this neutrality
that the imperial government did not give
an official introduction to the representa-
tives OF the exposition syndicate who went
from Berlin to the United States If the
exhibition is held-the imperial government
has received no Information to that effect
from AmeriCa-the representatives Of the
American exhibitors can be sure that they

Baron r. Won Brandenstein, president OF
the German executive committee OF the

day that he was at loss to explain the
attitude of the German government toward
the exhibition as expressed by the German
Minister in the Reichstag on Wednesday.

the affairs Of the projected enterprise, in
cluding any representations ] have made
regarding the German end of it, ! have
placed in the hands of the American ex-
ecutive committee. he said That body,

tribunal to pass the question whether
any fault attaches to me for the peculiar
and embarrassing position in which the

BENEFITS ENLISTED MEN
NEW ARMY REGULATION AT.
FECTING CONSERVATIVES.
Will Be Carried Six Months Before
Being Placed on Soldiers
Home Roll.

President Taft has interested himself in
behalf of enlisted men of the army who
have been sent to the Army General Hos
pital at Fort Bayard. N. NJ. for treatment
for tuberculosis Complaint was recently
icy at the institution of discharging these
enlisted men from the army and placing
their names on the Soldiers Home rolls.
This does not interfere with the treat
ment they receive, but it separates them
from the military establishment by pre-
mature discharge for disability. Otherwise
they would be kept on the army rolls and
would receive more in the way of allow
ances than the inmates Of the soldiers
homes under treatment at the hospital.
The military authorities believe that this
prompt discharge should be issued in or
der that the army may be relieved of car
rying on its rolls at considerable expense
men who are not fit for military duty and
whose places it is desirable to fill with
recruits who are physically able to dis
charge their duties 1t was pointed out
to the President that this practice oper-
ateS as an injustice in some cases where
the men are not incurably afflicted and
their return to military duty might be
expected within reasonable time.
Accordingly it has been arranged that
soldiers who are admitted to the hospital
at Fort Bayard shall be kept in the army
for at least six months, under the OBJ
servation of the medical officers. BY
that time, according to the experts il
will be possible to determine the chance
of cure within a period which will make
the man again useful as a soldier and
warrant his return to his command. The
delay of six months in the discharge is
regarded as sufficient for all practical
purposes and will secure justice to the
military patients, with proper considera-
ton of the interests of the army.
