As the head of my Court I apnointed a man known to me from his youth, the former Court Marshal of my father, Count August Eulenburg, who remained at the head of the Ministry of the Royal House until his death in June, 1921, at the age of 82 years. He was a man of fine tact, uncommon ability, clear insight in court og well as political matters, sincere character, and golden fidel—ity to his King and his King's family. His manifold abilities would hava enabled him, to the same degree: that they had made him known as Court Marshal throughout Europe, to act with equal sueves as Ambassador or as Imperial Chancellor. Working with unswerving zeal, endowed with winning politeness, he stood by me with helpful counsel _in many matters—dynastic, family, court, public life. He had to do with many men, in all social strata. and all walks of life, by all of whom he was revered and esteemed, and he was treated by me likewise with friendship and gratitude.
