BERLIN, March 23.-In the lower
house Of the Diet to-day President Won
Kroeoher communicated the result Of
his audience with Emperor William
yesterday, when the officers of the
Reichstag and Diet expressed the in
dignation experienced by the members
Of their respective houses at the recent
outrage at Bremen. His majesty said
to President Won Kroecher that he was
sorely panied by the outrage because It
convinced him that since the death OF
Emperor William |. respect for the au-
thorities had decreased among the peo-
pie, particularly among the youth. The
Emperor thought that everybody with
out distinction should share in the
blame for the present conditions. He
considered that the press should be a
potent instrument in upholding the u
thorities and he was confident that the
deputies of ali parties would do all in
their power to see the necessary steps
taken to assure the full measure or
respect for the authorities. s.
