VON KUHLMANN GOES TO CONSTANTINOPLE Former German -Attache At Washing- ton Is Now Ambassador to Turkey. (Cerrespondence of the Asso. Press.) The Hague, Netherlands, Oct. 21. Doctor Richard von Kuhlmann, who since the cutbreak of the war was at- tached for a short time to the Ger- man embassy in Washington and has since then represented his country as minister at The Hague, is leaving shortly to take up his new appoint- ment as ambassador in Constanti- nople during the absence of Count Wolft Meternich ‘‘on urgent private business.” Dr. von Kuhlmann, who is in his forty-fourth year, is sald to enjoy high favor with the emperor, and his promotion to this important post tes- tifies equally to satisfaction influ- ence on the economic policy followed —and to the high esteem in which his abilities are held in Berlin. Curiously ho was born in the Turk- ish capilal, his father having been general director of the Anatolian rail- ways, and he has an intimate knowl- edge of,eastern affairs. The “absence’ of Count Wolff Metternich is likely to be permanent; the count has now reached his sixty-third year and served for thirty-four years in the German diplomatic corps. Doctor von Kuhlmann's successor at the Dutch court is Doctor Friedrich Rosen, who has represented Germany successively In Abyssinia, at the court of King Menelik, Tangic Teheran, Bucharest and lastly bon. He it was who, with the nch gover- nor general of Algiers, M. Revoil, belped to lay the foundations for the Algeciras conference.
