kaiser criticised the latter briefly by
saying: I'VE found something in
common through the fact that though.
While in the reichstag, he fought for
many years against the tariffs on
foodstuffs and also against enlarge
ment of the army, he was especially
active against Bismarck and Bis
marck's successor (Caprivi). The
other day, when we were a trois
(three of us) in the garden with
Nostitz, the kaiser spoke his opinion
on the future of Russia. He gave
long lecture in which he explained
all the energetic means which he
would undertake in Russia in place
of what the cZar was doing. At my
remark, ''All this is very well, but
it will not happen, because the czar
is the czar," he became very angry
and explained rudely: do not in
terrupt me every time I wish to say
something" That man cannot en-

is big mistake. In the evening he
was again very friendly.
Fuerstenberg has a clever way with
him. The kaiser is all "frere de

came frere, the only way to remain
in his (the kaisers) favor. (The
expression, ''frere de cochon." mean
ing brother of pig" is not a pure
French idiom. There are several
French expressions like thick as
pigs" 1t is believed that Count
Czernin means to imply that Fuer-
stenberg never became very intimate
with the kaiser.)

missed Bismarck from the Office of
chancellor of the German empire. The
story of this political upheaval. which
shook all Europe at the II ne, has
never been fully told. Bismarck was
chancellor when the kaiser came into
power in 1888, and remained in office
until March 90. 1890, when he resign
ed. The kaiser spoke of his imperish--
able gratitude and made him Duke OF
Lauenburg.
Within d few months the word was
passed about that the kaiser and Bis
marck were the bitterest enemies.
Bismarck began a series of attacks.
Donaueschingen, where the kaiser
made these remarks. is in Baden, near
Constance. 1t was ostensibiy at the
residence of Count Fuerstenberg, in
Donaueschingen, where this took
place.
After dining the first day Kaiser
Wilhelm began political conversa-
ton in a corner of his salon. During
the conversation, which lasted almost
an hour, the kaiser described Bis
marck's discharge in the following
manner: He-the kaiser-was al
ready. as prince, employed in the
foreign office. At this time Bismarck
was always very amiable. and wished
to be helpful. He still thought then
that Wilhelm would become one of
his creatures. When he became kai-
ser Wilhelm saw at once the impos-
sibility of cooperation with Bis
marck. The chancellor had no COM
prehension of the people. All his po
litical methods consisted in shooting,
etc, etc. The final break followed
over a social question. What kind it
was he (the kaiSer) did not say. over
this question the kaiser and Bis
marck had exciting controversies.
