nevertheless by the terms of the constitution

any time since the foundation of the empire in
1871 at Versailles; and there must be added to
all these sources of discord in Germany the
fact that the treasury OF the empire is not

confronted with enormous and ever grow

and imperatvely needed: taxes however

Bearing of His Warning
Upon Conditions in
Germany.
Copyright 1905. by tn. brentwood Company

Copyright. 1908. by the Brentwood Company
Germany Is at the present moment in tho po-
stion OF a house divided against itself It Is
divided against itself 10 an extent. Of which few
abroad have any conception. To begin with,
the Kaiser just is admittedly out OF touch
with his people, and both sides there is q
feeling Of resentment which the diplomacy OF
Prince Won Bulow has been powerless to allay.
II is unnecessary to recapitulate here the causes
of this lack OF harmony and the circumstances
which have brought about the existing situa-
ton.
They have been discussed sd nauseam in
the cable dispatches and the editorial columns
OF the American and foreign press during the
last three weeks But the front which the
people present TO their Emperor is far from be-
ing united. Both the Reichstag and the Prus-
sian Diet are broken up into SO many parties
that no Minister can ever hope to secure
working majority, save by means Of a coalition
of several factions whose assistance can only
be bought by means Of concessions on the part
OF the Crown. This condition OF affairs is re-
peated in the legislatures OF nearly every one
of the twenty and odd sovereign States COM
prsed in the confederation known the Ger
Empire.
The rulers of these states likewise, with
out a single exception, at odds with the En-
peror. True, they do not approve OF the agtta-
ton for sacrlnce by tne Kaiser OF MS con-
stitutional rights TO Parliament Most of them
disposed TO autocracy. rather than to what
are known as popular forms of government and
realize that If William gives way TO the people,
and surrenders any part OF his authority to
Parliament, they will be called upon by the
legislatures Of their own domains 60 make SINH
lar Eacriftces. But where they differ with
William II is IN connection with his neglect
to consult them about matters OF imperial
policy at home and abroad. his failure to CON
slider their views, and In one word. his refusal
to permit them to have any voice in the foreign
affairs Of the confederation.
