THE GERMAN AUToCRACY

The statement in the second Ger
man note, that the present German
government had the support Of ma
jQrity Of the Rechstag. was evidently
intended 10 create tho impression that
there had been some substantial
change in the German political organl-
zation AS a matter Of fact. in so far
as we are informed, there has been no
, such change. Under the German con-
! sNtution. the Imperial Chancellor IS
the personal choice OF the Emperor,
and IS responsible only to the En-.
p9ror, The Reichstag has no control
over him, and cannot limit his power.
The German Emperor may still make

Were the Reichstag's powers even
more extensive. the Reichstag itself Is

That body is. and has been. controlled
