ENGLISHMEN REGRET IT It is: Admitted He Was De- sirous of Improving Re- lations Between the Two Countries. (W. A. P. Cable.) Badenweiler Baden, Germany, Sept. 24 Germany most brilliant diplo- mat, Baron: Adolf Marschall von Bie- berstein, died here today after a short illness. The baron, who had occupied the position of German am- bassador in London only since May this year, had come here to take a course of alkaline water treatment in 4m-comparatively good health, a Week ago. Then he suddenly fell il and rapidly became worse until he died today. The baron had euffered from an attack of influenza earlier in the year, and his death s attributed to the effects of that malady, and to his strenuous work in London since his appointment tothe mbassy there. The baron, who was a native of Ba- den, was 70 years old. Baron Marschall von Bieberstein was noted as one of the most accom- plished diplomats of his time, and since the death of Bismark he had been considered as Germany's Strong Man. The Baron in tact stepped into the shoes of Bismark when the latter left office in 1890, becoming on April 10 of that year, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. During his terms of office he conducted the negotia- tona with many foreign powers for commercial treaties which have been in force ever since with some few modifications. In 1894 he became Prussian Min- ister of State and three years later, the Emperor, recognizing his ability 3s statesman, appointed him am- bassador to Turkey. He remained at Constantinople over 14 years, but was often called to Berlin to confer with the Emperor not only in regard to Turkish effairs, but in connection with Germany's general foreign pol- fey as well. It was often hinted that the Baron practically controlled the Emperor's entire foregin policy. He was strong- ly in favor of the extension of Ger- many s dominions in all parts of the world, His views were so well liked at court that he was often mentioned for the Imperial Chancellorship. When he was nominated for the embassy in London, early this year, it was reported that he was to en- deavor to bring about an under- standing between the two great. riv- als, Germany and Britain. If this was-his-aim, the new ambassador had little opportunity to attain it for the three months thist intervened from the date of his appointment to his death scarcely sufficed for the es- tablishment of himself in his new surroundings. He was in part re- sponsible for the famous telegram from the Kaiser congratulating Kru- ger on the defeat of the Jamieson raid.

Count Von Bernsteroff is reputed to be an atdent advocate of good An- glo-German relations. It has been rumored for some days that Baron von Bieberstein contem- plated retir ment. from the diplo- matic service on account of ill health. His death which resulted from paralysis of the heart was ut- terly unexpected here and will, it ie thought, defer the negotiations for the Anglo-German understanding which he was said to-haye-bolisved. possible. His recent sojourn in Lon- don is believed to have strengthened his views in this direction, SORROW IN LONDON (C. A. P. Cable) London, Sept. 24. Real sorrow is felt in official circles here at the death of the German ambassador, whose sincerety of purpose was nev- er questioned. Undoubtedly Baron yon Bieberstein was honest in his purpose to bring about closer rela- tions between the two countries, and he hoped by frankness to clear up misunderstandings. Possibly the most outstanding figure ia European diplomacy, he brought to his new da- ties a unique reputation for strength of character and honesty of purpose. His appointment was regarded as most significant and his death is de- plored by every friend of peace. For several years he was regarded with suspicion by Englishmen as part author of the famous. Kruger telegram, sent by-the Kaiser in a fit of irritability, congratulating him on the repulse of those in the Jam- feson rad, nearly causing war -he- tween England and Germany, (Bat. later revelations have shown that von Bi berstein acted the part of a balance wheel and greatly modified. the original wording of the telegram whose sending he deplored. - MISSOURI W.
