"MEINSELF AND GOTT."
THE KAISER'S COMICALITIES. I Received November 28, 8.35 a, m. ! BEKLIN, November 27. ' Socialists in the Reichstag inter- ! pellated the Government over i\n j Kaiser's speech at Koenigsberg, in which he declared that his crown was conferred on him by the Grace of God alone. Th/ j Chancellor, llerr von Bethmann-Hollweg, in a vigorous j reply, contended that the speech did j not place the Kaiser in contradiction to Prince Bulow's statement in 1908 The speech was delivered in a Prussian provincial town, and was not meant for a proclamation of absolution, but to emphasise the fundamental principle of the monarchy in Prussia, where the Constitution was not acquainted with the idea of the people's sovereignty added to the King's personal irresponsibility. 1 The Chancellor added: Independence, and the primordial nature of monarchical right, are the fundamental ideas of our political life, which will remain alive even in a period of constitutional development.
