NO VICTORY NO THRONE

COUNT REVENTLOW’S OPEN TALK TO THE KAISER. Count Reventlow in the "Tageszeitung” writes excitedly regarding the democrats’ cry of "No territorial expansion, east or west. ” H e even uses threats to intimidate the Kaiser; "A German victory and a German monarchy are mutually dependent. Without a German victory a German monarchy will soon cease to exist. ” Reventlow concludes; “For exponents of national monarchical principles in Germany it is now time to act—otherwise they may suddenly find themselves confronted with a situation which would bo difficult, if not hopeless.” The "Tageblatt” writes of all this; "It is somewhat piquant at the very time when a leading Socialist organ (‘\orwaerts’) upholds the monarchical idea in Germany to see a supporter of the throne and altar write in such a strain.”
