A ROMANCE OF SCANDAL
Although Countess Wedel’s book of sensational scandal, ‘ My Relations with the Emperor William II.,” has been suppressed in Germany, French and English editions will be placed upon the market almost immediately, says a Brussels telegram to the “Daily Express.' The “Petit Bleu” publishes extracts from the proof-sheets of the French edition.
Such a series of liaisons with princes and monarehs and of intrigues with statesmen as related by the Countess simply defies belief. Not the least piquant detail of the story is that on the evening of her marriage with Count Wedel the Countess bolted her husband out of the house because he had abandoned a woman and child to marry her. ■ The Countess claims that it was she who inspired the German Emperor to prohibit gambling in the army, and to develop a great navy. We are even assured that the famous Muravieff circular on peace was her idea. After this nobody will be surprised to learn that Countess 'Wedel is the only person in the world who knows the real traitor in the Dreyfus case.
