Suddenly Called.

Known as One of the ShreWdeSt
Diplomats of His Country
so Years Old.

Stuttgart, Germany, Dec S0.-Alfred
Won KiderIen-Wa aecnter, secretary of
state of the German empire, died sud-
denly at his home here today after a
brief illness. He was enjoying his
usual Christmas visit to his sister.
Baroness Won Gemmingen, near here.
He had felt extremely unwell for sew
eral days past, and physicians who
called feared the illness might result
fatally, as his heart action was very
irregular He died at 1850 this morn
ing while practically alone. He was
60 years old and a bachelor. He had
occupied the Office as imperial secre-
tary since June %, 1910.
He was known as one Of the most
shrewd men in German diplomacy and
regarded as an expert on affairs of

man cabinet at the present time is
| considered a great misfortune

foreign secretary he was very success
full in steering the international poll
tics of the German empire through a
period of unusual ENHANCEMENT, more
especially in regard to the dispute be-
tween France and Germany as to the
future of Morroco. Negotiations were
brought to a successful termination
last year, when France and Germany
signed an agreement, as result OF
which their relations have become
more cordial
Won Kiderlen-Waechter was for
many years a favorite of Emperor
William, who, however, practically ban
ished him for a decade to what then
was comparatively unimportant post
at Bucharest because, on one occasion
he had presumed too much upon the
emperor's favor.
| OF OLD FAMILY.
He belonged to a very old Wuert
temberg family, which was raised tc
the nobility in 1868. While studyins
law he volunteered and fought through
out the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
II. He entered the diplomatic service
in 1879, and had served at St Pet

ON BOND MATTER
Gives Some Reasons Why He
Thinks Issue Should Be
Opposed
Editor Iron County Record:

Editor Iron County Record:
see by the editorial on the
bond election that you are in
favor of the proposition, and as
there are always two sides to
every question. | want to say a
few words on the other side of
this one.
Of course good roads are very
nice to have, and where they are
really needed by the general
public are a matter of great inn
portance and as sucn should APP
peal strongly to our consider
alton and support but in the first
place can we afford them. that
is, are we able to pay for them.
There are some people in this
world that can always afford
all they can get, for the question
of payment does not trouble them
at all, they always let the fellow
who puts up the money for them
bear that burden. and in this
case if we could arrange it so
that the "bloated bondholders"
should carry the load we could
undoubtedly afford the remark
able system of county roads that
are indi .ated in the notice of
bonding, but as the bord holder
is likely to see to it that we
shall pay the bills, and that with
good interet. it plainly evident
to many, in fact l am safe in
saying, to the majority of
the taxpayers of Ircn County
that the time has not come for
the mourning of a debt of fifty
thousand dollars for something
that experience has taught us.
we who travel in the old
can get along tolerably well
without. There may come a
time in the "sweet bye and
bye" when we shall have money
to spare for such an investment.
but at present we "have other
fish TO fry"
At Cedar City we have very
urgent need of a twenty thous-
and dollar school building to re-
lieve the condition so eloquenly
set fourth in The Record a week
or two since. We also have
urgent need of ten or fifteen
thousand dollars to buy good
iron pipe to repace the old rot
