HVS MINISTER
American Brewer-Diplomat Shocks
European Rnlers by His
Queer Behavior
London, March 21. lnformation
has reached London that the Wash
ington government might direct atten
tion to Charles J. Voplcka, of Chicago,
American minister to the Balkan
States. The Instructions which Secre
tary of State Bryan sent Voplcka to
go direct to his post after he had de
livered an effusive speech in Prague,
Austiia, apparently have had little
effect, for the minister since has stag
gered the diplomats of other nations.
Voplcka, who owes his appointment
to Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, of Illi
nois, was a brewer who was popular
with the Bohemians of Chicago. He
attended a dinner in Prague, where he
delivered a speech which showed no
appreciation of his position as a min
ister of the American diplomatic ser
vice. He talked freely and made celti
cisms of Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria. The speech was such an
extraordinary one that the American
consul general sent a cablegram to the
State Department calling attention to
it fr.nd Intimating that it might offend
a frUndly foreign power. Secretary-
Bryan urged Voplcka to his post.
Tells Cost of His Shirt
At Bucharest, the capital of Ruma
nia, where Voplcka makes his head
quarters, the stories of his doings
caused Queen Elizabeth, "Carmen Syl
via," to remark: "The American min
ister, I am told, is a very curious
person."
At Sofia, capital of Bulgaria, Voplcka
drove up to the palace in a state car
riage. He said to an American ac
quaintance as he got out of the car
riage, pointing to his soft shirt: "That
shirt cost me sl2. I wore it when I
saw Kings Carlos and Peter and now
I am wearing it to see Ferdinand."
Voplcka was carrying his credentials
wrapped in a small silk American flag,
in which he presented them to King
Ferdinand.
Familiar With Ferdinand
Vopicka is said to have adopted a
familiar, confidential tone, saying to
the king:
"I have met Kines Carlos and Peter
and I understand that there would be
some difficulfy in the Balkan states.
If there is any more trouble, come to
I me. I think I will be able to arrange
matters."
Even less pleasant is the story that I
Queen Eleanore of Bulgaria, who Is I
soon to pay a visit to the United States, I
sent an equerry to ask the American I
minister to appoint a day to accom- '
pany her to the hospitals. Vopicka |
replied that he was unable to name a
day at the moment, but that he would I
telephone her. The visit naturally was '
canceled. Admiration of the Bul
garians for Mr. Vopicka was not
heightened when they learned that he
I was spen in the new year In a beer hall
in Sofia.
