' Herr Harden, speaking in his defence, implied that he could have shown that whole cavalry regiments were infected, had he desired to dwell on disgusting orgies, also that immoral proposals were even made to the Prussian Minister of the Interior; but his only object was to avert disastrous political developments, which, in the rase of Morocco, had brought two countries to the verge ot war. He declared that the Kaiser's decision was:—"Away with Eulenburg, away with Hohenau, for ever! There is nothing definite against Moltke, but he must clear himsalf or be stoned. Meanwhile he must be placed on half-pay." Herr Harden concluded—"l prefer to serve the Kaiser by telling him the truth, not by worshipping him."
