Emperor William should arrest
his son, the crown prince, and shut
him up in q fortress" is the drastic
remedy suggested by a Berlin weekly
as the best solution of the situation
ing a stand against the emperor in
the matter of the accession Of Prince
Ernest August of Cumberland to the
throne Of Brunswick.

fact that Frederick the Great. when
crown prince, was actually arrested
and kept under strict surveillance by
