Er CHEW IT AFTER EVERY MEAL ' | ment of suppl {Russia and had some, Mndar Way BrOpa which Von Hintze Is Diplomatic Thug SOOOPOOVNCNVPOPODIIPOOPOO0C E have never believed that the character of the man who happened at the mo- ment to be Imperial | Chancellor or Foreign Minister mn | Germany was a matter of any im- | portance to the Allies, for the sim- | | ple reason that German Ministers are the servants not of the state, but | of the Kaiser, holding office at his | | | will, and liable to be discharged at | a moment's notice when they do anything that the War Lord does not | approve, Yet there has been a con- siderable difference in the types of | ! ticular task is to be entrusted to this | diplomatic thug. man that the Kaiser has entrusted with the Foreign Office since the war began. The most respectable of them undoubtedly was won Jagow; his successor, Zimmerman, was the most unprincipled; Kuehimann, lately re- tired, was the ablest, and jt may be that he unwillingly did pbmro of the chores of the Kaiser. t any rate he now speaks with keen pleasure of the prospect of getting out of Ger many for awhile, and leaving his little regretted job to von Hintze. Of the latter it may be said that he is probably the . mest unscrupulous, brutal, dishonest official 9 has been called to highipfice in Gerthany or anywhere else jh modern times, If there is any significance in his appointment it must mean that Ger< many new outrages, and has brought her favorite gunman to the Foreign Of- fice to plan and. defend them. Von Hinjze's name appears in the famous Willy-Nicky correspondence. He was in Petrograd as naval at- tache at the German Embassy, and was regarded as 'the confidential man of the Kaiser. He was on inti- mate terms with the Czar, and no doubt carried many messages back and forth which could not be com- mitted ic paper nor entrusted to the ordinary .ificials of the Embassy. After his work in Petrograd was completed he was sent to. Mexico. There he engaged upon the task of bedevilling Mexican affairs, lining up the Germans in the country, in preparation for whatever might come, and especially trying to set Japan and the United States by the ears. It is said that he assisted Japan to induce Mexico to grant her a naval base in the hope that this would embroil the United States and Japan; and later on frustrated the move with the idea of bringing the United States into collision with her southern neighbor. At any rate it is more than suspected. that a Ger- man agent stole a copy of the pro- visional agreement and communicat- ed it to Washington, which led to the mobilization of American troops on the Mexican border in the Taft regime. In the various Mexican revolu- tions von Hintze played several parts. He appeared to back Madero, while his agents in the North sup- ported Orozco. Subsequently he up- held Huerta, whom he provided with money from Germany. He fin- ished hisjask in Mexico shortly after the beginhing of the war, and then went to San Franciseo bound for China. Fearing capture by a British or Japanese vessel, he disguised him- sell as a stoker and worked his pas- sage across the Pacific. Great was the amazement of diplomats and of- ficials In Pekin when a rather dirty man in seamarf's garb tutned up and presented credentials as ister to China, China ad this time was neutral, and of Hintze wak properly recei once set about his plot t neutral, and for this purpose stirred up several revolls against the Gov- ernment, "lavishly using money among the Chinese bandits for this purpose. & ging for the. ship- from China to Ger- many by way of the Amur river and in get- contemplates new Infamies, | iid service for thed piol was also brought home to him, and he was sent home to Germany instead of being interned, as were his subordinates. According to the Broklyn Eagle which has compiled an excellent dossier of von Hintze, the man is not only an able director of spies, but a very competent spy himself, He boasts that he has been in Paris since the war began, and he cer- tainly 'was in Switzerland, where he | was suspected of being a French agent, It is even said that before | going from Mexico to China he passed through England. It is nat- ural that the Kaiser should not per- { mit so faithful a servant to spend | his time in idleness with the German | navy, and he has been made Foreign | Minister, though from the time of | Frederick the Great the invariable rule is that a civilian shall be ap- | pointed to this office. There will be great curiosity on the part of the Allies, and no doubt even greater cur- fosity in Germany, as to what par- One thing is cer- tain, and that is that von Hintze is not the sort of Foreign Secretary who would be chosen to negotiate with the Allies, The German peace secre- tary is not yet in sight.
