The POLITICAL CRISIS

(By Associated Press.D

Copenhagen, Oct. "a. Emperor
William returned to Berlin last nignt
prepared to begin dealing with the
political crisis, particularly as it at
fects the imperial chancellorship.
Rudolf Won Valentino, chief of the
empeTors civil cabinet, made re-
port to- the emperor on the araiu on
the various . developments of the
internal political situation during the
emperors absence in the Balkans.
Valentino is known jokingly as
The Carrier of the Bowstring" on
account of the part he plays in the
political demise of the highest i'm
perial and Prussian civil officials.
He acts as the emperor's eyes and
ears in ascertaining public and politi-
cal opinion.
Responsibility is accredited
popularity to Valentino for the selec-
ton of DR.. Michaelis when it was
decided to drop Prince Won Buelow
as a candidate owing to the Social
lists announcement that they would
make open war on the government
if the prince were retnstated as
chancellor 1t is said that Michaelis
was not even considered three houIa
before his appointment was made.
Prince Won Buelow again is being
advocated strongly for the chancel-
lorship by the conservatives. Social
lists, through the party news service,
announce that if the emperor asks
the opinion Of the reichstag parties
they win not hesitate to tell him their
unfavorable opinion of Won Buelow.
