GLORIFYING WAR.
A MONSTER RALLY. PRUSSIAN DEMONSTRATION. FREEDOM AND FATHERLAND. (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 10.30 a.m.) BERLIN, August 28. At 4.45 this afternoon the signal was given for the ringing of a peal of bells in all the churches in tne city of Nuremburg in honour of those who fell in the Great War, after which memorial services were held. This was the forerunner of a monster rally of German Nationalists throughout the country on Sunday, headed by Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria, and attended by the ex-Kaiser's son. Prince Oscar, of Prussia, Generals yon MacKensen. yon Scheer, yon der Goltz. and g galaxy of princes, princesses and heroes of the war. The city was lavishly beflasged with the old Monarchist colours. The streets were swarming with officers of the old army wearing pre-war uniforms, glittering with decorations and medals. The Nationalist organ, "Fraenlcischerkiirior." editorially greets the participants in the demonstration with: "Wp deliberately reject the cry of no more war, and devote ourselves to fight for freedom and Fatherland."— (Reuter.)
