DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS.
KAISER'S MISSION RIDICULED BY THE REICHSTAG. BERLIN, November 30. The amazing speech recently made by the Kaiser, in which he declared that he looked upon himself as the instrument of the Lord, was bitterly attacked by the Reichstag. One of the Socialist members, Herr Ledebour, said that the ...Emperor's speech, glorifying his ancestors and upholding the divine right of kings, irritated the people, and held Germany up to ridicule in the eyes of the world. Herr Ledebour spoke mockingly of the Hohenzollern family cult deriving its power from the Most High. The Kaiser's ancestors, declared the speaker, had obtained the Prussian Crown from a Roman Emperor through begging and whining and by all means of intrigue at the Court in Vienna.
