KAISER EAGER TO Ifl PEACE PRIZE Is Restraining Austria So as to Complete Twenty-five Years of Warless Reign. BERLIN, May 4. -The Kaiser is on the las'. stretch of the last lap in the race for the coveted twenty-five years reign of peace. Will he win the gol den jubilee prize? No one knows, but it Is certain that he is restraining every nerve to reach the wire before the storm breaks, if ii does break. The Foreign Office has wrapped itself in a mantle of silence in regard to the Austrian attitude toward Montenegro and Servia, but the foregoing is the way a military officer sized up the present situation. Well-informed men express the opinion that the Kaiser’s hand has re strained Austria and prevailed on Vienna to wait before taking action In the hope that something may de velop which will avert what is feared here, namely, the beginning of a war into which Germany will be dragged against her will and in which she has no direct interest. While the national and imperial newspapers urge Germany to support Austria and applaud the decision of the latter country to act, one gets the impression in talking with officials and financiers that Germany is still looking for some solution of the trouble other than the warlike one .proposed by Austria. . A member of the Kaiser’s entourage is* quoted as saying in conversation with a friend that the Kaiser does not consider war necessary under modern ideas and should be undertaken only as last re port.
