Maximilian Harden. In a recent ar
ticle, speaks sratlilrmly of Helfferlch
as a minister to Mo&cow, snlnr that
he appointed himself.' It expresses the
hopo th it he will recoRnl7e the real
meaning of the political ixork neces
sar In Russia and not merely con

tion" for Germany's war needs or to
rontrol nil ranking business with the
threat of keeping nil raw material,
which Is Indispensable to dorm iny,
and which will not be obtainable from
the west for a long time
Harden speaks of Helfferlch's work
for the ti insltlon period nnd of Ills
officers In the Pniser Pint:-, to which
he nlso Appointed hlfnself, although
the neichstiig would hae no traffic
with him
'This Industrious man." he goes on,

Harden does not belleo that IMf.

Discussing Austiisn policy, Harden
asks whether nnothei Triple Alliance
is blowing In Eastern Hurope", ns In

message of Knler Carl, of Austtla, as
proposed bv Czei nln In agreement
with his allies mentioning the sen

that if the kings wish to write, "let

appears on the shady side of Czernln,
who can he quite Wilsonlan when
necessary.
"But now." Harden says, "He must
not be so He Is an ardent monarchist.
Csernln thinks thus. 'Just look, I know
Bucharest like my pocket. Handle our
Kmperor, Ferdinand like a colleague
and thus shou that he Is not to be

sas that to listen to the Pollh Social

Government believed Itself obliged to
