Berlin, Nov 1G-Prince Philip Won Eu-
lenberg, formerly the Kaiser's mpst inti-
mate friend, is again the center OF inter
est, owing to the loud demands that are
being made for his immediate retrial for
perjury. Consequently, It is not surpris-
ing to hear that the prince is reported
sick. Indeed, alarming bulletins are is
sued as to his condition. But these have
been his tactics ever since his famous
trial was stopped. owing to his ILLNESS"
Every time the question Of a fresh
trial has been raised the prince takes to
his bed. Between times, however, he APP
pears perfectly well and seems to be en-
joying life. In the present instance afti-
davits have been filed that the prince
has been seen frolicking IN the park of
his castle of LIebenberg. This has raised
a renewed outcry that the case be re-
opened. The Socialist newspapers are
hotly denouncing the affair as judicial
farce. and the willy prince lies low in his
sick bed and says muffin"
The princes original trial few years
ago was a great European sensation, and
nearly involved the Kaiser in a scandal,
owing to his majesty's friendship for the
defendant. Won Gutenberg was accused
OF terrible practices. He denied the
charges. and the prosecutor then indicted
him for perjury. At this the princes
health promptly broke down.
Kaiser Furious.
The Kaiser Is furious at the press
comments on his remarks to Bishop
Munsch at the Moslem influence in AZ
RIGA. which had provoked these press re-
Dukes as being particularly tactless utter
ances at this juncture. His majesty the
other day received in audience Bishop
Munsch, the head of the mission in Ger

progress OF the Mohammedan faith in

Africa. Then he is recorded as having
said:
we must work energetically against
the spread Of the Moslem faith, otherwise
Islam may prove a great danger to our
colonies"
The newspapers point out that this re-
mark comes badly from a monarch who
only a few weeks ago was hailed by sew
eral thousand Mohammedans as the pro-
tector of Islam. They also denounce 1t
as a short-sighted biunder which may I'M
do all the Iaborious work OF the German
diplomatists who in recent years have
been endeavoring to gain the confidence
and favor of the Mussulman empire.
The Kaiser, in a semi-public CONVEX
satIon, expressed anger at the publicity
given his private utterances, and de-
cIared that the publication was a breach
of confidence and good manners. more
over, 1t was unpatriotic. The press, he
said, should have hushed up such a re-
port, whereas the German newspapers
spread It broadcast. thus hampering the
German foreign policy.
