KAISER MUST

AIMS IN WAR
Conditions Threaten to Com
pei the Issuance of ltemiz-
ed Statement.

External pressure to force the Ger
man government to set forth its war
aims clearly having failed on the sur
face, internal conditions within the
empire threaten to compel the issu-
ance OF a full statement of Germany's
aims. What the German leaders want,
If they are successful, will be discussed
in the Reichstag this week, probably
today.
The imperial chancellor DR.. Mich

as it was for his predecessor. Won
Pethmenn-Hollweg and he must now
face the critics of the government in

charged, the bureaucracy and the army

Reichstage debate.
Hoot War Minister.
DR.. Michaelis on Saturday sent Min
lister of the Interior Helfferich before
the Refchstag to make a statement on
his behalf. Helfferich failed to mollify
the critical members of the Reichstag
and the sitting was adjourned to today
after the vice chancellor's speech had
been interrupted. General Won Stein,
the war minister was jeered when he
attempted to explain the army's side
of the accusat on that the high com
mand was using very strong methods
to help the pan-German agitation.
Won Bethmenn-Hollweg some
months before his resignation had a
test of strength with Admiral Won
Tirpftz, the reputed organizer Of ruth

HIS POSITION NO SINEeURE
Persian Poet Laureate Kept at Work
Immerts!lzlns .he sfeeehes Ct
His Royal Master.

Persia appears to be the only coun-
try besides England where a poet
aureate has been maintained of re-
cent years. Until Muzaffar-ed-Dih
abolished the post in 1896 the court
Of Teheran had for centuries pos
sessed a laureate, whose duties were
far more numerous than those of his
British confrere.
According to Narcisse Persin, who
spent some years in Persia at the
beginning of the nineteenth century,
court etiquette prescribed that
whenever the shah travelled outside
the capital his suite must include a
dwarf, giant, jester, a historiog-
rapher and a poet laureate
The last two were kept busy, for,
While the historiographer had to re-
vord for posterity all the doings and
sayings of the shah. the laureate was
called upon to celebrate a large pro-
portion of these in verse. M. Persin
highly commends this custom, which
he found rigidly followed, "for the
shah, knowing that many of his ut
erances and deeds would be crystal
zed in an ode, felt bound, on these
-oysl progresses, to speak and behave
