KAISER'S INDISCRETION. THE INTERVIEW THAT HAD TO
BE SUPPRESSED.
ዓ.
THE VAR SCHEME TEN YEARS AGO
During the Christmas of 1908 an issue of the Century Magazine was published which contained a frontispiece of the Kaiser, but with no letterpress to, account for its appearance there. The fact was so curious that it attracted considerable attention at the time. The truth of the matter has long been known to a few people, but it has never actually been given to the world in anything like detail, until the recent publication in the Herald and Jourust, of Boston, of the detailed story."
The truth is that when the German Government became aware of the impend ing publication of the interview, it took immediate steps to endeavour to suppress it and employed, as an intermediary, the Ambassador in Washington, Count von Bernstorff.
When the edition had been suppressed, and the plates handed over to the Ambassador, it was found, however, that the magazine had no portrait with which to replace that of the Kaiser, and for this reason the portrait was left in the magazine with no explanation to account for its appearance there. The sheets of the story were conveyed on board a cruisce sent to the United States for the purpose, and taken to sea, where they were destroyed. The plates themselves were finally obtained by ourt von Bernstorff, but their actual fate still remains soothing of a mystery. One copy, however, of the magazine escaped destruction, and is still in existence, and from this copy the whole interview may yet see daylight.
The article as published is in part, as follows:

The plates from which the article was printed were not destroyed or handed over to the German Embassy. Five years later they were rediscovered and, as war had already broken out, permission was sought from Court Bernstorff to publish it. This was refused, the plates were demanded and handed over. But one copy was still at large.
MIDNIGHT MOTOR TRIPS.
A correspondent writes to a London journal: There are continually being brought to light now and astoundig facts. which give some idea of the size of our military forces. For instance, how many people knew that the Army is always 100,000 men short of strength, there being always this enormous number on leave How many Londoners know that when... leave is up and men and officers pour into London in the carly hours of the morning there is a volunteer corps of motor transport men to take them from Now as to the newspaper paraphrases the northern stations neross the metro- of the interview which appeared shortly polis to the boat trains?
