Berlin. November 26.-A movement
Is afoot among influential groups OF
politicians to check the Kaiser's con-
stantly recurrent tendencies to talk
too much.
The Emperor has recovered from the
effects of November, 1908, and now is
again the eager, Industrious orator on
many and diverse topics. Since the
koenigberg speech OF August-when
he made his reassertion of divine right
he has spoken on religion, prayer,
soldiers duty, naval architecture, artil.
lery technicalities, rifle shooting, wo.
mans sphere, etc, etc.
This revival of the Kaiser's oratori-
cal activity has created great uneasi-
ness in political circles, The movement
of November, 1908, was not Demo-
cratic movement as the Conservatives
National Liberals and other shades of
moderate politicians took part in it
The effort was successful for time to
muzZle the Kaiser, because they all
regarded his excuses of speech as
| harmful to the country.
| Now some of them are discussing how
to meet the Iiaiser's new outbreak.
Shall it be by public protest, II so, who

the English press upon American
newspaper methods was remembered
this week when reading the called
Crippen Confession" published in the
Evening Times. This paper announced
the day before his actual execution
that 1t had full confession. 1t was
known in London that nobody had
been permitted to see Crippen except
his attorney and Miss Leneve, and
anything in the nature of confession
would have to go through the hands
of the prison authorizes.
The American representative saw
the prison authorities the Home Sec

land Yard and Arthur Newton, the
counsel, and was informed absolutely
that no confession of any nature what
ever had been made by Crippen. This
information was taken over at 10
O'Clock at night to the office of the
Evening Times and shown the editor.
He announced, nevertheless. that he
had full confession and would pub
lish 1t the next day. London was
plastered with placards concerning the
scoop of Crippen's confession. The
story was published with all the
shocking details, some of which have
been already cabled. Since it's publi-

unusual length of giving an absolute
and unqualified official denial of it's
