Czar Reassured Kaiser.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 24, 1913:
And Latter Then Went on Holiday — Turkey's Bomb Not Foreseen.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BERLIN, July 23.— At a moment when Europe is again threatened with complications in connection with the Balkan turmoil, the following incident, which has been related to me on unquestionably high authority, is of interest:
    Before definitely arranging to proceed to Norway on his Summer holiday in the second week of July, the Emperor William made personal confidential inquiries to the Czar as to whether the latter was of the opinion that anything was at all likely to ensue during the succeeding five or six weeks which would make it inconvenient for the Kaiser to be absent from his own country. The Czar sent back such categorical assurances as to the Russian plans and attitude that the Kaiser decided to start without further ado.
    My informant adds that neither the Czar nor the Kaiser could, of course, have foreseen the new enigma which Turkey has forced on Europe's attention.
