invitation reached him. The despatch
said that the Prince was leaving for
Berlin to-day but later message
from The Hague brought the news Of
the call from the Emperor
Three theories were advanced In well
informed circles here tonight with
reference to the possible purpose Of the
conference between the Kaiser and the
hero of the famous Kaiser Crisis" Of

Second: That he is 10 be entrusted

Third: That he IL 20 he sent to the

In connection with the latter theory
II is suggested also that the Prince may

pointed out in some quarters that Count
