TRENTON. Feb. 14.-Declaring
that the bill presented in the House
providing that marriage license ap-
plicants shall produce certificates

BLSMARCK'S DIPLOMACY AT ITS ZE-
NTH. By Joseph Vincent Fuller. Harvard
University Press
"HE battling labyrinth of European di-
plomacy which. from the Franco
Prussian war until the break with
William II. in 1890. practically revolved
about the iron" personality of the German
Chancellor, Prince Won Bismarck. presents
one of the most fecund fields for specula
ton ever presented to historians. The
period is shrouded in haze of intrigue
and secret manipulation of diplomatic af-
fairs through which the personality of the
Iron Chancellor" appears as the director
of a constantly shifting situation. having
as its end the advancement of Germany's
supremacy in European affairs.
The period, which DIR. Fuller has chosen
to illuminate. beginning with the inter-
view between the Austrian and Russian
Emperors at Kremsier in August. 1885, and
ending with Bismarck's speech in the
Reichstag on February g. 1888, is one of
the most crowded with events in the
Chancellor's entire career. The Eastern
question, marked by the mutual jealousy
of England and Russia over the supremacy
in Afghanistan. was brought dangerously
near clash between armed forces, Russo
Austrian affairs were continually kept in
a state of violent unrest, occasioned pri-
marily by the Bulgarian revolution and the
general tendency toward revolution in the
Balkan States, while the ill-concealed
hatred of France for Germany was twice
swept into the open, notably over the
alleged duplcity of Bismarck in attempting
placing Prince Ferdinand of Coburg upon
the Bulgarian throne.
The hand of Bismarck was constantly
seen in European intrigue. Untiring in his
attempts to sustain and further the Ger
man position, his efforts forced him con-
tinually to secret treaties and intrigues
tending toward a secure intrenchment OF
the Imperial Government against the pos
sibility of an eventual war. Bismarck saw
that the conflict was inevitable, but ii was
his thought that It might be averted until
1892, the year when, in his opinion. the
several European Powers would have
achieved their maximum war strength.
With this thought ever before him he
sought to assure his country, by treaty
and understanding, of the assistance of
the other Powers which he felt necessary
to his interests in the case Of dreaded
