In correspondence with Baur please on not divulge that you have heard everything from me)

Desa Korenbaum,

Baur asked me yesterday by telephone ta en over to Kiel about I o'clock as he had something important to tell me which in part he did not wish to put in writing. The follows ine in a brief regumé of the chief pointe.

Zimmermann will shortly be an Ambassadly but where he could

not tell me.

vor Deckenda"ff is not going back to Norocco because the French have objected for a long time to a German ambassador instead of a Consul General being established in their sphere influence Contrary to what.21mbermenn told me in Berlin, Baur believes that von Seckendorff may still remain in Peking. Hasethausen therefore may not return. The influence of v.5's brother, the Admiral and Lord Chamberlain to Prince Henry may therefore be stronger than all the intentions or the Foreign office, Krupp von Boulen and Baur himself are furious that their

be

opinion should reckoned of so little value, as they think that von S would not be the right man in the right place in Peking. von S.is somewhat vain and this weakness will meelead him into mixing himself up in business to our disadvantage; and the other sly people--particularly the French and Italian ambassadors-- would play tricks with nim,

Baur will certainly not again go cut to stay. very few weeks he will start Yuan Shik Kai up with information which had reference to his own pet technical ideas (iron -works, arṣenaf. als etc) and will see how things develope. Quite apart from the sacrifice which he as a ran and bis family would have to bear if he returned to China, it would be a pecuniary sacrifice, pince

he is earning einziderable more than the Chinese would be will-
