Despite the efforts of courtiers and high
officials to suppress it there have been
rather persistent reports that Emperor
William has seriously considered the propO-
sltion that he should delegate a number
of his duties 10 the crown prince. Al
though he lie not sick the emperor is Ear
from being a well man. Never at any time
| a stalwart in health William has lived at
high pressure from the day he assembled
/ the throne. He has been one OF the bust
est monarchs since the days Of Napoleon
His life has been a tremendous and use
full one. He has never had what may be
( termed a strong constitution. and it is
only by an extreme sober regime that he
has been able to support the physical and
mental fatigue OF his office. He has had
breakdowns during the last few months
and his physicians although they do not
consider him in immediate danger have
advised his sbsentation from work that can
be fulfilled by his son.
There are numerous public petty duties
that may be safely impressed on the prince
and the emperor relieved to that extent
The change will not be made until the
young man returns from the east
