which Emperor William has made to
France. of which the visit of the ex-Empress
Frederickis regarded as proof, says: "The
French have right to think Of revenge;
but they have no right TO injure the feelings
OF the head of the empire and his mother by
insult thai could be expected ouly OF
scoundrels. The German people feel deeply
