QUEEN carmen SYLVIA
SAYS HE IS CURIOUS
American Minister to Balkan States
Is Amazing the Near
East.
Mr.. Vopicka, a CHICAGO Brewer
Owes Appointment to Senator
j. Hamilton Lewis.

From the New York Sun.
j LONDON, March 2O.-Information which
has reached the London office of the Sun
from responsible sources would seem to
Suggest that the Washington government
blight be Interested in the sayings and
doings of Charles J. Vopicka Of Chi
cago, the American minister to the Balkan
states.
Mr.. Vopicka was sent to the Balkan
states as the United States official repre-
sentative handicapped not only by lack of
previous diplomatic experience, but by a
3ame which wouldn't guarantee him en-
tf1rce-to. court circles in any of the
states To which he is accredited. The
Washington government, it has been
learned, was notified of this fact when
Mr.. EOpicka Was suggested as successor
to Minister Jackson. But what is a name
of. oppTobiun in the laneuaSes of the
near east is of sufficient dignity in Eng
lish.- it seems, to be not at all out of
place with the pretiXed title minister
= Offensive Speech at Prague.
The instructions which Secretary OF
State Bryan sent TO Mr.. Vopicka to pro-
ceed direct to his pest after he had de-
livered an, offensive speech at Prague,
Bohemia, apparently have had little or
no effect, for the behavior of the minister
since he has taken over his post has
staggered the diplomatists of other ma
tions, who are constantly wondering
what Nopicla is going to do next"
Mr. Nopicka. who owes his appointment
to Senator ]. Ham Lewis. was a brewer
who was very popular with the Bohe
mians of Chicago. He attended a dinner
at Prague. where he made a speech which
showed no appreciation of his position
as d minister of the American diplomatic
service. He talked freely and candidly
and made some criticisms of Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria. The speech
was such an extraordinary one that the
American consul general at Prague sent
a cable dispatch TO the American State
Department calling attent on to it and
i1itinaIing that it was calculated to Of
fend a friendly foreign power. The story
goes that Secretary of State Bryan i'm
aledIately wired Mr.. Fopicka to proceed
to his post without further delay.
