Bismarck Appointed

Prince Otto von Bismarck, grandson of the Iron Chancellor, has turned from politics in the Reichstag, where his grandsire carved a memoriable career for himself, to diplomacy, being appointed first secretary of the German legation at Stockholm, capital of Sweden.

Prince Otto, son of the late Prince Herbert Bismarck, onetime Secretary of State of Prussia, is 30 years old. At 26 he was elected a Reichstag deputy, being one of the youngest men ever to enter the German Parliament.

Unlike his famed grandsire, who (according to Emil Ludwig, famed Teuton biographer) until he was well past 30 was considered a "Taugenichts" (good-for-nothing), annoying his neighbors with his scandalous affairs with women, Prince Otto, if intellectually inferior, is a mild-mannered, well-behaved citizen of the Republic. Whereas the great Bismarck, while extremely sensitive, was permeated by an intense hatred of mankind, with the exception of his wife and children, who he loved and adored above everything else, despite the fact that he was three times engaged before he could find a woman who would marry him, the contemporary Bismarck is moderate in speech and morals.
