KAISER CANCELS VISIT,
THEN CHANGES HIS MIND
Decides Not to Leave Berlin for
Vienna and Corfu, but Boerse
Slump Warns Him.
WILL DEPART AS PLANNED
Comment on Churchill's Naval
Estimate Speech in House of
Commons Firm to
Sharp in Tone.

Berlin. March 19-Profound surprise
was caused by the announcement made
to-day that Emperor William had post
poned his departure for Vienna, Venice
and Corfu. scheduled for Friday next. A
few hours later, however, owing proba-
bly, to the sensation caused by the news,
a notification was issued by the office ot
the court marshal stating that the old
arrangement would be carried out.
The reason officially assigned for the
postponement was difficulties in the
sphere OF internal politics" but there
was a strong disposition TO connect the
Emperors action with the speech delv-
cred yesterday by Winston Spencer
Churchill First Lord of the Admiralty,
In the British House OF Commons. The
Emperor in the course of the morning
paid long visit TO Admiral Albert p.
Won Tirpitz. Secretary of the Imperial
Navy. Immediately after which num-
Der OF the leading officers Of the ad-
miralty staff assembled in conference,
the object Of which, however, was not
disclosed.
The embarrassment which the cancel
lation OF the Emperor's visit would have
caused to the Emperor Of Austria and TO
the King of Italy. whose arrangements
for the meeting had all been made, was
undoubtedly factor in causing the En-
pcror to reconsider his decision to remain
in Berlin

Comment on ChurchiI's Speech.

If Winston Spencer Churchill hoped by
his speech in the British House Of Com
mons yesterday to induce Germany to
abandon the proposed strengthening OF
her navy, he will be disappointed by the
comment of the German afternoon pa
pers Not single paper considers this
alternative. few ultra patriotic or
gans indulge I'm the usual abusive reply,
but comment generally is restrained
though firm.
The GO per cent standard, constituting
the British ratio Of new construction
above that OF Germany, as proposed by
Mr.. Churchill, has a surprisingly wide
acceptance. but IT IS repeatedly pointed
out that Mr.. Churchilrs figures are de-
ccptive. and would work out in reality at
not less than 10 I.

that the disease is hereditary. Nc

AS a further matter of fact, the whole

that It is absolutely useless, yet 1t is
persisted in by an unintelligent sys-

curiosity. What parents ought to in
sist upon is the doing away with re-
port cards, that are simply meaning
less to them, and require a simple
statement from the teacher of the
