BERLIN, Dec. 2a.-The Cross Gazette to-
day says: WIN regard to the neutrality of
Luxemburg, that diplomatic negotiations
are impossible In time of war. The German
armies would be compromised, while the
abrogation of treaties secures their safety.
The Prusian Government is ready to submit
its claims to arbitration, without affecting
the position of Luxembourg as an independ
ent State.
The Diet of Hesse Dsrmstadt has ap-
proved the federal treaties and voted q
further war credit.
BERLIN, Dec. 22.-The following is the
speech Of King William, delivered in reply
to the address Of the deputation received by
him at Versailles
GENTLEMEN In receiving you here in
foreign territory, far distant from the German
frontier, l am prompted to express my
gratitude to that Providence, whose wonder.
full dispensatons have brought Us toEsther
in this ancient residency. God has given us
victories which we hardly dared hope or ask
for, when last summer asked your support
in this great war. You gave me that sup
port to the fullest extent. l thank you
in my name and that of the army and
nation. The victorious armies among
which you have sought me, have found in
the sacrificing spirit of the country, en-.
coursgement and support admid battles and
privations. The means voted for the con-
tinuation of the war, by the late Diet, have
given new proof that the nation is deter.
mined to exert ell its energies. The politi.
cal life of the Germans will develope itself
all the more, because the basis offered to the
| south German allies is their own choice. l
hope those states yet 20 be consulted will
follow in the same path:
