Emperor Williams autocratic and
complacent speech to the members Of
the Brandenburg Diet seems to have
had its effect either directly or indi-
rectly in arousing the wrath Of the
down-trodden masses Of Berlin. Alb
solutism cannot be set up without a
protest. If the upper classes bow to
the rule Of German Bourbon who has
come to regard himself alone as the
State, the socialists will not. Justice
to the workingmenandto allclassesun-
der the constitution is what they want.
The greaterthe repression the greater
the rebound when. in their despair they
turn upon their oppressors. The EN-
peror has not hoodwinked the Social
lists any moro than he has converted
the leading educators to his views.
Perhaps before the May day comes
around with its demonstrations and
dynamite the Kaiser's advisers will
force moderation into his iron rule.

poured coal oil over her, set her clothes
on fire and watched her slowly roast to
death, unaffected by her agonizing
cries. When death had come the fiends
stole away as silently as they had come.
