Very wisely, President Wilson refused to do anything of the kind, otherwise he would have been deluged with constant complaints from both sides as to the violations of the rules of war.
 The cartridges given to me were in packages marked on the outside, Car touches de stand" and from this took it that possibly these cartridges had been used on some shooting range near the fort and the bullets bored out in order that they might not go too far if carelessly fired over the ta ct
 With our naval attache, Commander Walter Gherardi, on August I called upon Won Tirpitz to learn from him which ports he considered it safest for the ships to be sent from America with

 My Wife's sister, the wife of Count Sigray, and her husband arrived in Berlin the second week in August. Count Sigray is a reserve oficer of the Hungarian Hussars and was in Mon tana when the first rumors of war came. He and his wife immediately started for New York and sailed on the fourth of August. They landed in England and as England had not yet declared war on Austria, were able to proceed on their journey With them were Count George Festetics and Count Cziraki, the former from the Austrian embassy in London and the latter from that in Washington.

 On August 29, Count Szoegyeny, the Austrian Ambassador, left Berlin. He had been Ambassador there for twen ty-twO years, and l suppose because of his advancing years, the AuSlrlan Government thought that he had out lived his usefulness. Quite a crowd of Germans and diplomats were at the station to witness the rather sad fare we'll His successor was Prince Ho henlohe, married to a daughter of Archduke Frederick. She expressly waived her right to precedence as q royal highness, and agreed to take only the precedence given to her as the wife of the Ambassador in order not to cause feeling in Berlin. Prince Hohenlohe, a rather easy going man, who had been most popular in Russia and Austria, immediately made favor able impression in Berlin and success fully occupied the difficult position of mediating between the governments of Berlin and Vienna
