 We consider such condition an im- possibility. and even a monstrosity The demand for a plebescite in West Prussia, it may be comprehended might be approved. but it would be a gigantic national disgrace and a moral slap on its own face on the part of the German people if it concluded to make its future destiny dependent upon the fate of a single man and that man ex- actly the one to whom, in a great measure. it owes it's misfortune and who, in great part. the German peo- pie now are cursing because of it.''
