 (First Instalfment)
 "Kuchelna, August 16, 1917. Baron Marschall died in Septem- Jber 1912, having held his post in Lon- don for a few months only. Ills ap- nointment, which was due mainly to his age and the plotting of younger man to get to London, was one Of the many mistakes made by our Foreign Office, In spite of his imposing per lsonality and great reputation he was too old and tired to be able to adapt himself to a purely foreign and Anglo Saxon milieu He was more Of a ibeaueaucrat and lawyer than a dip ;lomat or statesman. He set to work to convince the Englishmen of the harmless character of our fleet, and naturally succeeded in strengthening an entirely opposite impression.
 Tho London Embassy.
 ''To my great surprise I was offered the post in October. After many years work I had withdrawn to the country as no suitable post had been found TOT me, and I spent my time on my farH and in my garden. on horseback anc in the fields, but I read industriouslJ and published occasional political ar ticles. Thus eight years passed, anC thirteen since I had left Vienna a' Ambassador. That was actually m! last political employment. l do no know to whom my appointment il London was due. At all events not tt His Majesty. as I did not belong tt his immediate set, although he was al ways gracious to me. I know by eX perience that his candidates were ire quently successfully opposed. As matter of fact, Herr von kiderlen Wachter wanted to send Baron vol Stumm to London. He met me a once with undisguised ill-will, ant tried to frighten me by rudeness. Her von Bethmann-Hollweg was amiabl { to me, and had visited me shortly be fore at Gratz. I am, therefore, in clined to think that they settled ol me as no other candidate was avail able. Had Baron von Morschall no died, it is unlikely that I should hay been dug out any more than in pre- vious years. The moment was ob +viously favorable for an attempt t come to a better understanding wit England.
 Morocco.
 Our obscure policy in Morocco ha repeatedly causedl distrust of our peaceful intention, or at least, ha raised doubts as to whether we kneJ what we wanted or whethe our intention was to keep Bu rope in state of suspens and, on occasion, to humiliat the French. An Austrian colleague who was a long time in Paris, said t me- The French had begun to forge la revanche. You have regularly re minded them of it by tramping o their toes.' After we declined Delcas ees offer to come to an agreemen regarding Morcco, and then solemnl declared that we had no political ir terest there-an attitude winch agree with Bismarkian political condition '-Swe suddenly discovered in Abdl Aziz a Kruger Number Two. To hi1 also, as to the Boers, we promised th protection of the mighty German En pire, and with the same result. Bot manifestations concluded as they wei bound to conclude, with a retractio if we were not prepared to start world-war. The pitiable conferent d of Algeciras could not alter anything and still less cause Delcasse's fall. Ol attitude furthered the Russ-Japanes and Russo British reapproachment. face of the German peril all oth considerations faded into the bacl ground. The possibility of anoth F'ranco-German war had been pater and, as had not been the case in r such war could not leave out Russ or England.
