"The putting forward of a man of = Prince Maximilian's personality and . views in the nosition of chancellor to I my mind means a very definite at- \ tempt to seek peace and an abandonment of the Pan-German policy. "I always suspected tliat when they I really sought peace, they would employ either Prince (Maximilian or Dr. j!
