Berlin, Nov 17.-Forced by the
angry tide OF popular feeling that
swept the empire from end to end,
Emperor William today yielded 20 the
nation and promised henceforth to
conform himself to constitutional
methods in conducting the policies o.
Germany.
The climax of public utteranceS of
the emperor was reached in an inter-
view which he gave to an Englishman
and which was published in the Lon
don Daily Telegraph of October %.
AS an outcome of this the whole cOun-
try was aroused. The Reichstag en-
dorsed the attitude of many of its
prominent members when they de-
nounced the sovereign and Chancellor
Won Buelow, while he attempted to
smOOthe away the affair, undertook to
communicate TO His Majesty a
straightforward and unvarnished state
ment of how the German people view
ed his intervention III affairs of state.
An interview between the emperor
and the imperial chancellor took place
at the new palace in Potsdam This
morning, and at its conclusion the EN-
peror made a formal promise TO his
people that in future he will not act
except through the chancellor and his
associate ministers
1t is now certain i'll the minds of
the German people that great step
has been taken toward a freer govern
ment.
