BERLIN, Nov. 24.--The Reichstag will
reassemble on Tuesday when business
will open with the discussion Of the
budget and the loan for the reconstruction
Of the navy. The speech from the throne
continues 10 fill the public mind An
exaggerated optimism regarding abiding
peace replaces the pcssimistic forebodings
current prior TO the delivery Of the speech.
The speech is undoubtedly rs pacific rs
The forecast given last week, but II is
inisntcrpretcd II endowed with the char
nCtcr OF being an absolute assurance OF
peace. The most significant passage in
the paragraph referring TO foreign icla-
tons was the Emperor's declaration that
his aim was "Friedcn und wohliart zu
giChCrn soviet dies Won unsern willen
nbhangt" There is here nothing beyond
n protest that so far as it depends upon the
Emperor his policy will be pacific. Tho
concluding sentence, referring TO the con-
fdenoe shown in his Majesty during his
tour as justiiying the hope Of being able
with Gods help TO maintain the peace OF
Europe, has been read as indicating
promise that the Car, besides tho
allied monarchs, will assist in pre-
serving the peace. II is officially
known that the Emperor did not
intend TO convey an impression other
than he and his allies earnestly desired to
avoid war. Tho scmi-oicial Post and
Cologne Gds0E are now trying 10 tone
down public feeling 10 q lower pitch. Tho
pod warns Germany that the situation does
not Justify sanguinc cXpcctance that
peace * permanent; that IL Is foolish TO
suppose that war depends alone upon the
SScision OF sovcrcigns; that the difficulty
threatening Europe is not France alone,
ssd that the EmpCror's language means
simply that he is preparing with rcsigna-
tion 10 face the most serious task that can
be placed upon the chief OF great nation.
The Cologne Gds,tif SAYS "lhe speech
Il pacific only ns far M We and our allies
are concerned, and is reserved regarding
Others with whose decisions We have lao in
fucncc."
The Austrian official Fnninbldh says

that Germany will not have 10 endure the
