oxer what Is called the aggrandizsment Of
toe executive in Germany. The fact
which strikes the critics since the aooes-

more and more as the main spring OF the
Government and the ministers fall more
and more into the background while the
Legislative bodies and even the minor
sovereigds sink into comparative insigni-

method OF William !, who appeared dur

and supporter OF his Ministers than as the
spontaneous controller OF all thst was
