Urges Arrest of Crown Prince.
emperor William should arrest
his son, the crown prince, and shut
him up in a fortress" Is the drastic
remedy suggested by a Berlin weekly
as the best solution of the situation
created by the Crown Prince in TAX
ing stand against the emperor in
the matter of the accession of Prince
Ernest August of Cumberland to the
throne of Brunswick.
The EDITORS suggestion recalls the
fact that Frederick the Great, wheir
crown prince, was actually arrested
and kept under strict surveillance by
his father, King Frederick William,
old ON William
| l., wished to send his son, later EN-
peror Frederick, to a fortress cell.
The present conflict between father
and son is, in fact, an old Hohenzol-
| lern tradition that has been handed
down, with striking regularity from
one generation of the dynasty to the
next. These conflicts have, however,
| lost much of their sharpness Never
the less, it is only sixty-three years
since old Emperor William, at time
when he was still heir apparent to
the throne Of Prussia, flung his sword
to the ground before his brother, King
Frederick William w., with the bitter
remark, Nobody can honorably serve
longer under you" Hardly ten years
had elapsed when William himself,
then king of Prussia, found his own
son, afterwards Emperor Frederick,
at variance with him and siding with
the Diet in refusing to make heavy
military appropriations.
| 1t was q well-known fact that the
| present emperor himself was, during
the brief hundred days reign of his
dying father, vigorously opposed to
him in many of his measures, and
| William did not hesitate to show this
by a complete change of policies as
soon as he assembled the throne. All
things considered. therefore, the pres
emit conflict between the emperor and
the crown prince is but mild repeti-
ton of the old Hohenzollern tradf-
ton.
