KAISER’S ATTEMPT.
To Influence German Affairs. (Received December 7 at 10 p.m.) BERLIN, December 6. The Socialist newspaper Bremen vouches for the accuracy of the exKaiser’s “curious attempt from Doorn to influence events in Germany.” Hen Heineken, managing director of the Nord-Deutseher Lloyd, formerly closely associated with the Kaiser, sent him a description of the launchings of the two latest liners, named Europe and Bremen. The ex-Kaiser, instead of sending congratulations, immediately posted a sharp reprimand for not christening them Frederick the Great and Wilhelm the Great. Evidently the missive was one of the ex-Kaiser’s notorious impetuosities, for the next day he sent off a courier to try and intercept it before delivery. The eou rier arrived half a day late, and the only result of his journey was to em phasise the indiscretion.
