(Received Dec. 7, at 8 p.m.) The Socialist , newspaper Bremen vouches for the accuracy of the exKaiser’s “ curious attempt from- Doom to influence events in ! .ermany.” Herr Heineken, managing director of the Norddeufscher Lloyd Company, who was formerly 'closely associated with the Kaiser, sent him a description of the launchings of the two latest liners, named the Europe and the Bremen, The exinstead 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 ex-Kaiser’s notorious impetuosities, for next day he sent off a courier ,to try and intercept it before delivery. The courier arrived half a day too latjj, and the only result of his journey was to emphasise the _ indiscretion.—Australian Press Association.
