st. Petersburg, April 26.-The Cars
state department has raised curious
question in regard to the diplomatic re-
latiOns between the United States and
Russia in the Official Gazette. 1t stated
that Ambassador Curtis Guild was re-
ceived in a farewell audience by the
Car.
Nothing was said Of the Ambassador
having presented letters of recall, al
though that is the term invariably en-
ployed when diplomat accredited to
the Gar takes leave. The explanation
now given is that as there is no treaty
between Russia and the United States
no letters of recall should be considered
necessary.
as things are now, it appears Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan need not equip the next Ambass a-
dor with regular letters of credit. but
merely with such an introduction to Sec
rotary of State SasonOff as would enable
the newcomer to ask for meeting in
case American interests were affected by
an infringement of the most favored ma
ton principle.
The difference is important. in that an
Ambassador is accredited direct from his

London, April a6-Great Britain is in
CONSERVATION today over the desire of
Emperor William of Germany to inspect
the Notifications at Gibraltar while IA
guest on board the new Hamburg Ameri-
can liner 1mperator. which sails from
CuXhaven on the 18th of this month for
Gibraltar on her trial trip on the trip
the Emperor will be accompanied by
Admiral Won TirpitZ, the German min
lister of marine, and the leader of the
Anglophobe party in Germany, and also
by a large military and naval suite.
The situation is peculiarly embarrass-
ing to the English, because about 20 per
cent of the value of the Notifications at
Gibraltar depends on secrecy. In the
Kaiser and mis- suite are allowed to visit
the fortifications this secrecy will be
lost. On the other hand, if the English
government refuses to allow the Emperor
to visit the stronghold, il will give con-
flrmatlon to the story that the English
consider the Germans a potential foe and
at the same time offend the Emperor and
his people
Foreigners Barred from Fort.
England has never permitted any for
elgn military attaches to visit the forti-
fications, upon which millions of pounds
sterling have been spent. The defensive
"OihS, IIuutl DdlleTleS, dnG concealed
guns have been guarded with the ut
most secrecy, and have never been view
ed by any but English eyes, and to have
this sacred rule violated and to allow
the Emperor of the Germans to view
the details of the massive fortifications
is almost beyond the ken of the English
MIND. Yet the appearances of friendly
relations between Germany and England
must be kept up, and particular care
has been taken that these friendly rela-
tons do not become strained. Whether
the Kaiser will take offense If he is re-
fused the pleasure of viewing the ia
nous English strategic point or not is
the source of much speculation in official
circles.
II is agreed that if Japanese military
attaches expressed a desire to visit the
United States and view the Notifications
Of the Pacific Coast, the Panama Canal
and Sandy Hook, they would be met
with instant refusal. It is also certain
that if ii were any one other than the
Kaiser who wished to see Gibraltar the
English government would veto the pro-
posal with an emphatic NO" but be-
ing Kaiser carries a large amount Of
prestige. and he may be granted the
privilege after all.
