SAXON SOLDIERS LOYAL.
Faithful to Fatherland But Not Fight
;, ina For Their kins.

Copenhagen, July Saxon soldiers
are not fighting out OF loyalty to the
king, but for the love of the fatherland
and the monarchical principle. Saxony
is suffering sadly from the mistakes
of an incompetent bureaucracy. Such
were the declarations which the gov
ernment was forced to hear from all
parties except the conservatives in a
debate in the Saxon diet Yesterday, a
report of which has reached here.
The discussion was on necessary in :
ternal reform. The occasion for the de-
bate was q socialist resolution de-
manding that the government make an
effort to secure liberal reorganization
Of the empire.
After Count Vitzthun, premier Of
Saxony. had declared that the Saxon
government would fight any attempt
to secure any franchise reform in in
dividual stages thru the reichstag, the
socialist vice, president of the house,
himself an ex-soldier flatly denied that
loyalty to the king played any role with
the soldiers.
He warned Count yitzthun against
persisting in his reactionary attitude,
saying that reform would come II not
from the crown. then from the mob.
Count Vitzthun attempted to meet
the storm wifi, the old formula, devo-
tion to the crown. but even the nation
al liberals backed the socialists with
identical assertions.
One nationalist declared, as a good
royalst. that unless the government
to ho
tion demanded he feared for the con-
sequences.
After this debate. almost unpara'l-
eled in German legislature since the
days Of 1S4S. the diet adopted the Soc
ialist resolution, the conservatives
alone dissenting &&
