Rotterdam, Nov. s. dispatch to
the London Daily Telegraph For
a time, at any rate, Wilhelm Ii. is to
lremain on the throne. Such is the
decision arrived at by the German
Government in consultation with the
party leaders, after long contro-
versy. From well-informed source
Ii understand that the general posi-
ton is as follows:
The argument urged by the Soci-
lalists was that, though President
Wilson has not formally demanded
the ending of the Hohenzollern dy
nasty, yet the Kaiser is regarded
abroad as the symbol of the militia
ristic system to which is ascribed
the guilt for the war. That system
having been rendered powerless,
why should not its one remaining
symbol be obliterated?
Against that view it was repre-
sented by the Conservatives and Ma
tional Liberals, with also a majority
Of the Progressives, that the Kaiser
was a symbol of something even
more important, namely the unity
of the German Empire and they
gave very real reasons for fearing
that that unity was in danger of be-
: inf broken, one of the most weighty
being the open advocacy by import
: ant Munich journals of Bavarian
|separatism. This argument gained
the day in the party debates.

One of these informants came

When this man left Berlin a few
