KAIsER's MESSAGE TO
MADRIZ RUFFIES U. s.
Washington OFFICIALS Think II Is An
Attempt to Cause Rumpus in
South America.

WASHINGTON, July 1L-Persistant
diplomatic opposition on the part OF
Germany against the policies OF the
United States today brought out q
situation which is rapidly approaching
the acute stage. The latest OF the
series of incidents to be disclosed Is
the recognition of the MadriZ faction
In Nicaragua by the kaiser's communi-
cation.
in an alleged personal letter dated
April 26, the German emperor adj
dressed Madriz as Great and Good
Friend" and congratulates him on
his election as president by the merit.
ed confidence OF his fellow citizens.
Although II Is within the prerogn-
tives OF the kaiser to recognize what
ever government he chooses, his jump
ing into the Central America area,
at present is looked upon by some au.
thorities as throwing down the gaunt-
let 10 America, which has been recog-
nized as the guardian OF Central Am
erican affairs.
In the present instance there Is a
wide divergence between the opinions
OF Germany and the United States.
Secretary Knox holds that Madriz has
not been elected by his fellow citi'
gems. according to the Nicaraguan con
stitution. despite the "merited conf
dence" referred to by the kaiser.
This action by the kaiser might be
overlooked were II not for the unmis'
taxable signs OF German hostility to
America manifested In connection with
other incidents.
The state department has maintain
ed an attitude of reserve regarding
these incidents as there Is an earnest
desire to prevent any clouding OF the
friendly relations existing between
the two governments. The grave
question today, however, Is whether
Germany proposes to carry It's anti.
American diplomacy into the western
hemisphere and extend It to Central
American interference.
