KAISER WILL PAY
ROUND OF VISITS
Athens, Bucharest, Probably Sofia,
and Possibly Constantinople,
on Imperial List.
From The Tribune Correspondent

Berlin, March 19-Considerable political
Importance is attached in Germany TO the
visit of the Kaiser to his historical castle.
the Achilleion, in Corfu, Greece. SINH
lar visit is paid almost every year by the
Emperor, and il was only on account Of
the war in the Balkans last year that 1t
did not take place then.
Generally the visit is OF little political
importance. the Kaiser only remaining In
Corfu for recuperation after strenuous
winter But this time he will have little
IL any recuperatiOn. II is expected that
after his arrival i'm Corfu he will receive
the visit of King Constantine Of Greece,
who will officially announce TO him the
engagement of the Hellenic Crown Prince
TO the Princess Elisabeth Of Rumania,
and ask him to act as sponsor. The Kali
ser, who is the uncle of the young prince,
will naturally accept.
An official visit 10 Athens will thus fol-
low. in the course of which the Kaiser,
and eventually the kaiserin. will be the
guests of the King and Queen of the
Helenes and of the city Of Athens. Later
the Kaiser will travel by sea TO Ru-
mania. and will probably visit CONSTANT
nople. where he would Of course. be re-
ceived by the Sultan. The question OF
visit TO King Ferdinand of Bulgaria in
Sofia is also under consideration. Then
will take place the Bucharest meeting be-
tween the Kaiser and King Charles, and
Immediately afterward the marriage OF
the Greek Crown Prince with the beauti-
full Rumanian princess.
II is easy TO see from these extensive
travelling plans that the Kaiser is busy
regaining the ground Germany lost in the
Near East after the war in which the
Turks INSTRUCTED by German officers and
armed with Krupp guns) were defeated
once more Germany wishes to be arbi-
traitor in the Balkans, ana the Kaiser, al
though he needs a rest, will willingly
sacrifice his Corfu holiday to this great
national task

ago hidden in an old chest. The price paid
for this toilet service. comprising fewer
than thirty pieces. was $4,000. Lionel
Crlchton being the purchaser In the es-
innate OF experts $500 would have been
a big price.
Mr.. Crichton was a determined bidder
for he also secured the noble Henry VII

largest sum ever given in an English auc-
ton room for single English piece OF
silver. the previous maximum being S22-

AMERICAN VICTIM

C. D. Joslyn, Former New York

Berlin. March &c. d. Joslyn, for

daughter and Mrs. A. ]. Wilson spent a
few DAYS in Berlin en- route TO Vienna
this week, was the victim OF an old con-

Of the German police.
Ms Joslyn, who had left his hotel to go
to Cooks tourist office, few blocks down
Inter den Linden. was accosted by an
American as he stopped a moment TO look
at some cigars in a shop. The stranger
was also bound for Cooks office. After
each had transacted his business there,
consisting in one case Of changing money
and in the other of making merely trifIng
inquiries, the pair sailed forth for short

DEATH FROM LOW VOLTAGE
French Professor Cites Gases
of Women Killed in Baths.
IN Cable 10 The Trlbune. ]

Paris, March 2S.-The danger OF death
by an electric shock in ones bath was
pointed out recently by Professor Cartel
before the Academy of Sciences. Profess
sor Cartel stated that it had been believed
up TO the present that only high voltage
electric currents were dangerous. but he
cited number OF cases Of death by low
voltage currents, notably those of two
women who were killed in their bath at
short intervals of time from a current of
only 10 volts.
No explanation of the cause OF death
could be found until it was discovered
that the bath was in contact with a badly
insulated electric light wire. The circuit
was produced when the bather tried to
ring bell. This current illuminated a
ll0-volt lamp.

Unionists criticise the King.

The Unionists are criticising his
majesty, but quietly among themselves,
and the Unionists have the most reason
to complain of the Kings policy, as
would appear from the most trust
worthy accounts of the happenings at
ferences between the King and his
Cabinet ministers and army officers.
The King has undoubtedly followed
his ministers advice from the begin
ming of the Home Rule controversy,
maintaining impartiality, though ap-
parently having personal leaning
members of his court were outspoken
in their condemnation of Sir Edward
Carson in organizing the Ulster volun-
teer army, and resentment at his act in
reviewing the volunteers as though
they were regular body and in as
Stunning prerogatives by reason of
which the Liberals named him king
Carson" is widespread.
Such an offence, as General Sir
Robert Baden Powell discovered when
he placed his portrait on postage
stamps during the siege of Mafeking,
is an objectionable sin in the eyes Of
the court.
While Premier Asquith and Colonel
Seely were closeted with the King re-
Gently, Major General Sir William r.
Robertson, director Of military training
at the War Office, accompanied by a
colleague. visited Buckingham Palace,
according TO trustworthy information,
and asked to be admitted to the confer
ence on urgent business. The request
was granted and the officers announced
that they and a majority Of the staff
officers would resign Immediately UNI
less the government made its peace
with the Curragh officers.
What has been pronounced as tine
greatest crisis for craftsmanship in
three hundred years" is thus simmering
over Sunday. Talking to-day to an
Englishman of high position, the Trlb-
une correspondent was told: Never
before in all my knowledge have there
been such fierce and bitter political
conflicts in England. and | feel the
monarchy is in danger. This week has
been the most anxious time l have

GERMANY HOPING
FOR TWO CARDINALS
Prince Max of SaxOny Likely
Also To Be Made a Prince
of the Church.

Berlin. March 19-Candidates for car
dinals TO fill the two vacancies left in the
Sacred College by the deaths OF Cardinals
Kopp and Fisher are being discussed. At
least two German prelates are expected to
receive the Red Hat at the Consistory
this spring.
The Apostolic Nuncio at Munich, Mon
signor DIR. A. Fruehwirth, is prominently
mentioned
Prince Max of Saxony, younger brother
of the King Of Saxony and now a pro-
lessor In the Catholic Theological SENT
nary at Cologne. was at first picked as a
probability. But some have eliminated
him, recalling that he incurred the dis
pleasure OF the Pope several years ago by
his views on the Greek Orthodox Church,
expressed in published book.
One of the most likely candidates, ac-
cording TO reports from Rome, " Bishop
Korum of Treves His name. however.
has been unfavorably received in govern
ment, circles with which he has been in
conflict often.
The selection of the right man is be-
lieved to be a real problem at the Vatican.
The Pope, 1t is said, desires to appoint
men who have not been identified with
recent political struggles, and who are on
good terms with the government.
The death of Cardinal Kopp has de-
prived the Catholic Church in Germany
at once of its highest functionary and its
strongest personality Kopp played an
important part in restoring amicable re-
lations between the Vatican and Prussia
after Bismarcks campaign against the
Catholic Church. In later years the EN-
peror recognized his efforts to promote
good relations between Rome and Berlin
by calling him TO the Prussian peerage
and comforting upon him the order of the
Black Eagle. the highest Prussian order.
IL carries with IT a patent OF nobility and
the right to use the coveted won before
the holders name OF which right, how
ever the Cardinal never made use The
Emperor further made him a member Of
the commission to reform the Prussian
school laws, and intrusted him with other
important missions.
