BERLIN DEMONSTRATION. BERLIN, June 14
A crowd of one hundred and fifty thousand Republicans angrily demonstrated outside the ex-Kaiser’s palace in favour of the referendum on the question of confiscating the property of the ex-royalties.
They carried a banner inscribed: “ Sunday will he the Reckoning Day with the Deserter at Doom! ” Another banner carried was one constructed of worthless bank notes, inseril>cd: “Give These Millions to William !”
The crowd hissed when a speaker, pointing to the palace, shouted:
“There lived the man who plunged Germany into ruin I” The crowd also cheered a poster showing the Hohenzollerns suspended on the gallows.
The police drove off some monarchists who were attacking the platform, on which there was a coffin with an effigy of the TCais’r in his court robes and crown.
