The Reichstag, by a huge majority, declined to rescind Saturday's call to order which the vice-president administered to Herr Ledebour, a Socialist deputy, who demanded that the vice-pre-sident should rebuke Von Oldenburg ?or claiming that the Kaiser had a right to disperse the Reichstag with the bayonet, y Only the Radicals, Socialists and Poles voted in favor of upholding the Reichstag's Sovereign rights.
While the Reichstag was discusstng the military estimates at the beginning of last week, Von Oldenburg, an ex-cavalry officer, in deprecating pub ic discussion of army details as being inimical to discipline, raised a storm by remarking: "The Kaiser be able to say to any lie-. tenant, 'Take ten men and shut up the Reichstag.'" The vice-president of the ReicKstag, in replying to Socialist protests, interpreted the remark ajs implying that soldiers must obey the War-Lord's comman 1. Von Oldenburg assented to this interpretation of tlie remark, but deputies of several parties contended that the Reichstag had been insulted.
