 Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, While here enroute for London, spent the other day in receiving and mak- ing q number of visits which are not without significance
 Among his visitors was Herr von G4Winner, director of the Deutsche Bank, whose name is associated with the concession for the Baedad Rail- way, and who is recognized here as the leading advocate of German in
 
 GWinner and Baron Marschall remain ed in conference over an hour.
 In the course of the morning Baron Marschall visited the Imperial Chan cellor and afterwards proceeded to the Admiralty where he conferred with Admiral von Tirpitz. Later he travelled Ito PotsdanJ accompanied by the Admiral, and both were re- ceived by the Kaiser, in a long au- dence. In the evening the Cham cellor gave a large dinner party in honor of the Ambassador
 While it is futile to attempt to give any information regarding these con- lerences it may be safely said that the entire field of the Ambassador future activities was traversed, and that he has been placed in possession of immediate plans of the German Ad- miralty.
 Discussing Baron Mars chall's task, the "Taegliche Roundschau' thinks the less said about it the better in the interests of Germany, and that the hymns of praise which accompany him to London will do nothing to re- move the difficulties from his way.
 The Journal does not believe that Baron Marschalls coming conferences in London on the relative strength of the German and the British Navies will result in any definite solution of the problem so long as England de- clines to regard the ships which she is building for foreign Powers as part of 'her available naval strength in the event of war. Nor has England shown. any further signs of good will in regard to anzibar, to Walfish Bay, or tc Angola-in fact, she has pre- vented Portugal from leasing Angola to Germany. The "Taegliche Rund- schau," after this sage remark, ex- pressed it's satisfaction that the Reich stag has granted the required addi- tions to the army and navy.
 "This is the sort of thing which England really respects. The inter- ests of both countries require an un- derstanding, but this is only possible when England is as ready to give as she is to receive"
 A German expedition to the Arctic regions, which will endeavor to make the Northeast Passage, is now assur- ed.
 The expedition, which will not re- turn for three or four years will start under the leadership of Lieutenant Schroeder -Stranz, in June, 1913. It will return by way of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
 Among the honorary presidents of the committee are the Princess There sa of Bavaria, the Duke of Altenburg, Duke Adolf Frederick of Mecklenburg, the Duke of Urach, and number of influential personages in the scien- tific and political worlds. The Ber- lin Museum will supply the scientific equipment. A staff of prominent scien- lists will accompany the expedition.
 Opinions of expert circles in Ger ma1ly on the programme of the expe- dition are very favorable.
 
 Baron Marschall von Bieberstein de- sires to work silently and unobserv- ed in London, according to the intima- tion of the Frankfurter Zietung wh ch has hitherto been regarded as the new Ambassadors organ in Germany.
 The Frankfurter Zietung warns Ger many against expecting that Baron Marschall will report successes from the field of his new activities within few weeks or even months.
 "It will not harm either his affairs or the Ambassador himself" says the
