The liberal and radical newspapers, COM
menting on the letters exchanged between
former Emperor William and Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, are unanimous in the dec
laration that their publication was a mon
archist trick, intended to hamper the gov
eminent of Chancellor Wirth and discredit
the democracy.
vorwarts, the Socialist organ, declares the
former emperor is carrying out propaganda
for the sale of his book, which it thinks is
a largely useless compilation. (Copious ex-
tracts and review of this book were first
published in The New York Herald.
The Vossische Ueitung expresses the be-
lief that the letters were published by Won
Hndenburg and William Hohenzollern un-
der the impression that it was the proper
time to "boose the old regim.'
The Freiheit declares that the effort of
the Crowned deserter, who is sojourning in
a land Of pelnty,' is a barefaced attempt to
give the Monarchists an opportunity to carry
on the catastrophal policy they began be-
fore the war.

unable to make effective use Of 1t against
the bull who was now genuinely angry.
Marzolf arrived and, fork in hand, climbed
