EnDerOr William Asserts the Divine
Right Of Kings,

And Admonishes the Agrarians-A
Rebuke to the Nobility of East Prus-
sia-Comment of the German Press
on the Kenigsbery Speech-The Sole
Topic of Conversation.
Berlin, Sept. S.-Emperor Williams
Koenigsgberg speech is the universal
topic The divine right of kings is dis
cussed the whole length and breadth of
the empire, and every editor is exercising
his opinion as to what may or may not be
done by the grace of God" The radical
and social democratic dailies TEEN with
adverse criticisms. The Frankfurter
Lejtung says:
although declaring the kings divine
right TO do anything with responsibility
to God alone, the emperor freely repeats
his previous utterances. His words are
still received with establishment by all
those citizens who are accustomed to
think that they live under constitution
sustained by the voice of the people"
The Vorwaerts, organ Of the social
democratic central committee, devotes
sarcastic article to the emperor and his
views: 1--WE admit the substantial ac-
curacy of the ivy and oak allegory," it
says. The ivy sucks the life from the
tree and kills it by degrees. So the aristo-
Gratis have often drained the vitality from
monarchy to establish an oligarchy In
the emperor's mind, however, the strug-
gle between the monarch and the nobility
appears 10 be of small concern to the
people"
After mentioning several skeletons of
the conservative family the Vorwaerts
comes to the emperor's remarks concern
ing the socialists and anarchists. who"
it asks, ARE these parties of the revolu-
tion? Whom are the nobility summoned
TO resist! Social democrats do not know
the answers to these questions and they
will not puzzle their heads with surmises.
They will keep their powder dry and re-
sist all attempts at unconstitutional
coercion"
The koelnische Volks Zeitung, organ of
the Rhineland Catholics, makes this com
ment: The speech has at least one
practical bearing-it proclaims the en-
perOr's determination to resist the agra
rian opposition, although not denying
his willingness to cOncede certain agra
rian reforms"
The koelnische Zeitung, national
liberal, is delighted with the rebukes
administered to the East Prussian land
owners. "The emperor fulfilled the
hOpe,n it says, "that while in koenigs-
berg he would address a warning
to the East Prussian nobility
The speech ought to settle the
agrarian opposition and convince
the conservative land owners who have
been affecting the guise of loyalty, that
the emperor felt that they were striking
at him and his throne when they struck
al the government policy. He said if they
wish to be recognized as loyal these men
must follow the emperOr's lead"
The writer contends that none of the
emperOr's remarks need be unders TODD as
precluding another era of socialist laws.
The Hamburgische correspondent,
which draws inspiration from the VIII
helm Strasse, says: From the leaders of
the Prussian conservatives one may now
expect at least clear answer to a clear
question. Upon their decision depends
the further development of Prussian and
imperial affairs
The Hannoverische Courier, which
speaks for the national liberal leader,
Rudolf Won Eennigsen, holds that the en-
perOr has adopted the last means at his
command to bring back the conservative
nobility to the crown. II his words prove
Intellectual, it says, the breach will be-
come irreparable.
The conservative Reichsbote saws
THE opposition of the Prussian noble
men has undoubtedly made their own
hearts bleed. They can retain the ivy
which ornaments and protects the oak
orly on the condition that, with the
heritage of their ancestors, they continue
TO furnish the crown with the supplies
which will enable the king to fulfill his
task
The emperor reviewed the Seventeenth
army corps, which is maneuvering against
the First. After the march past they
proceeded to Marienburg, where the EN-
peror presided at a banquet in the old
castle The emperor congratulated the
officers briefly upon the line condition oi
troops, and told them to keep their weap
ous sharp, as did the knights of old in
Marienberg. The emperor passed the
night in Schlobitten with Count Dobna
The empress had returned early in the
day to Koenigs berg, which she left this
morning for Potsdam.
The army maueuvers are in progress
round Marienberg The grand move
ments of the First army corps against the
Seventeenth will be executed between
Elben and Braunsberg on sept. 10, IL and
IL. The maneuvers will close with {
naval review at Swineburn. The en-
peror will watch from the yachtrIohen
