RESTORING THE MONARCHY,

DEADLY HATRED OF ENGLAND.

GERMANS DETERMINED ON REVENGE.

Received Nov.. 24, 5.5 pjn. London, Nov. 22.

The 'Times' Amsterdam correspondent reports that German royalists cherish the hope of restoring the monarchy with Princes Eitel and August, both being fairly popular. Hatred of England is universal in everyone, from, beggar to banker, from infant to dotard, and mothers .are implanting in the hearts of tiny infants that they, must live for revenge and defeat England. Germans will never forget or forgive, and will, from henceforth, not consider money or comfort to smash England. For that they will live and die. England never had a deadlier enemy than new Germany.—Times Service.

WILLIAM'S POSITION

STILL EMPEROR AND KING.

EXPECTS TO RETURN TO GERMANY.

Received Nov. 24, 5.5 p.m.

London, Nov. 22.

A high authority states that the Kaiser is still Emperor and King of Prussia, so far as tiho British Government is informed. It seems that the Imperial murderer is temporarily resident abroad, waiting something to turn up, Berlin has not yet notified the Allies 'of the Kaiser's abdication. Prince Max's -perfunctory statement is the sole announcement up to the present, and refers to renunciation, and docs, not use the word abdication.

The Kaiser, undoubtedly, still regards the Imperial crown and tthrone of Prussia as Ms, so the wqrld must assume that •he expects to return.—United Service.

I realised as never before what a difference experts make.
