(By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright Received Friday, 8..‘50 p.m. BERLIN, Feb. fi.
The death has occurred of Dr. Wilhelm Soli', aged To. He handled the Armistice negotiations as Foreign Minister. He was Governor of Samoa from 1890 to 1911, officially residing in the House in which Robert Louis Stevenson lived.
Nothing grieved Dr. Solf more than New Zealand’s seizure of Samoa, which he called the jewel of German protectorates. He vowed that the insolent intruders would be dealt with, but later in the war became an advocate of peace by mutual understanding.
