(1'his letter marks a turning point
in the kaiser's correspondence 1t is
clear that the kaiser has despaired
of winning Russia as an ally. and
now devotes his time TO throwing
duSt INTO the cZar'S eyes. His ref
erences to England and King Edward

posite in tone to those of few years

alludes came over the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria.
The congress of Berlin of 1878 al
lowed Austria to occupy these two
Balkan states. but regarded them as
Turkish territory. Their affairs
were administered by the Austro.
