KAISER TO UNDERGO OPERA.
TTON.e
Thought to Be Victim of Cancer of
the Throat.

Paris, Jan. 4.--The Matin affirms,
Notwithstanding denials, that the Ger
man emperor is suffering from cancer
OF the throat and is no longer able
to speak. t - .,,is
I'm February, 1911," according to
the Matin,' 1.-The doctors were consider
ing whether it was necessary to re-
move the entire larynx in order to
stay the progress Of the disease. They
raised the question as to whether the
emperor would be able to speak If
such an operation were performed.
The leading specialists Of every capt.
tai in Europe were consulted. It was
learned that an eminent surgeon of
Paris had, with an artificial, Iarynx
and a breathing tube opening into
'thes trachea. restored the power of
spetch to cancerous patients who had
undergone total ablation OF the af-
feeted organs
This doctor, whose name The Matin
withholds for reasons Of professional
etiquette, was asked to go to Berlin
by the German ambassador. He was
offered 100000 francs and all his ex-
pcnses and was requested to bring
with him a patient who had been fitted
with the apparatus, so that the en-
peror himself might see If he was able
to speak. IT -
Meanwhile. as a result Of a minor
operation with bistoury and a few
weeks absolute rest, the emperor's
condition improved as is often the case
in this disease the progress of which
Is implacable, but slow. 1t is another
operation of this kind which has Just
been performed. But It, is only pallia-
tive. The German emperor must either
make up his mind to complete removal
of the larynx or be stifled by the
growth.
This explains why the emperor
went neither to Warsaw, Constanti-
nople or Brussels"

Peculiar Wording of a Berlin Dispatch Is

 Speculation.
IS GR0UNDLESS
Some of the Submarine Cases May Show That Germans Have Not
 Been ViolatOrS.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27. - The wording or the Berlin dispatch last week. that period of complica- tions may be impending in German American relations" arouse much in- terest in official circles especially a5 the dispatch was allowed to pass a very strict censorship.
 Officials refused to disclose de tells of the inquiry sent to Berlin on the ground they were only in- quiries for feet and would have a very bad effect on public opinion if an alarm were given only to be shown groundless.
 Many of the cases now being in' yestigated. it is admitted, may fail to develop any violation of Germany's pledges. but some are known to be serious.
 in the Marina case, American af- fdayits seem conclusive. but no ac- ton will be taken until Germany's reply has been received.
