Berlin. Jan. ls - The anxiety in the
new palace over the loss of the diary or
Princess Frederick Charles OF HeSse con-
tinues. The Kaiser has resorted To all
sorts of ruses TO ascertain from the house
hold Of his youngest sister an idea Of just
what the diary contained. The princess
il the opposite of ner imperial brother
and one Of his severest critics. IL is rc-
ported here that the telltale book is nov
on it's way across the Atlantic To AN
American publisher to whom II has been
sold sub rosa.
The revelations said to be contained in
the lost diary are alleged to be sufficient
to stagger d less excitable person than
Wilhelm. called the Second to None.
II is the second case of the sort come to
trouble the imperial repose.
Thrty-fiye years have passed since
Princess Charlotte welded the hereditary
Prince Of Saxe-Meiningen. and the prin-
cess diary has been growing ever since.
And once. when the princess had returned
To Berlin with ner husband, the diary fell
into his majesty's hands. Never In his
life did William II wrthe so agonizedly

upon The imperial doings that were con-
tanned in the secret narrative OF Princess
Charlotte. Nor was the Kaiser afraid to
show his resentment. for he Immediately
banished his sister from Berlin and sent
her husband to command tine troops at
Breslau, one OF the dulest cities in Ed
rope.
The intensity of HIS majesty's anger
may be judged by the fact that when
the princess daughter. Princess Fedora
of -Meningen, was married at Bres-
lau the Kaiser refused to go to the we'd
ding. although he was residing on an es-
tate only two hours distance. II was the
Kaisers eldest sister, by the way. who
created so much heartburning at the
Prussian court some time ago by attend
ing a prizeight al Monte carlo, where
she had taken reserved seats. just after
Police President Won Jagow had, under
imperial instructions, interdicted boxing
entertainments in the German capital.
A good deal has been made in chauvin-
list circles in Berlin recently Of the report
that a new gun is To be used by the Ger
man fleet that will easily eclipse those
of other nations. The weapon in question
is l6-inch gun. with projectle weighing
not far short of one ton. 1t is extremely
improbable however. that such a gun
will be mounted on any German battle
ship for some time yet, although the eX-
istence OF the weapon seems TO be esiab-
lished, and particulars as 10 its constrGc-
ion are given in the latest German maya
guide. the "Taschenbuch der kriegsiiot-
ten Cgl5D.
The gun is indeed several sizes larger,
TO speak famillarly than the most pow
erful type al present used in tine Ger
man navy. Even the last of The German
vessels To be launched. the 2i7Ov ton bat
tleshIps Kong Albert ana PrinZreSent
Luitpold, and the vessel OF the same class,
the kaiserln, which mas already been
launched thirteen months and IL not Vel
in commission, are designed for nothing
heavier than the standard Finch gun.
