THE KAISER'S CLAIM. DEBATE IX THE REICHSTAG. United Prein Association—By Electric Telograph—Copyright. BERLIN, November 27. Socialists in the' Reichstag interpellated the Government over the Kaiser's Speech at Kocnigsberg. The Chancellor, in n vigorous reply, contended that the speech did not place the Kaiser in contradiction' to Prince Bulow's statement in 1908. The speech was delivered in n Prussian provincial town, and av:is not meant for a proclamation of absolution, but to emphasise the fundamental principle of monarchy in Prussia, where the Constitution was not acquainted with the idea that the people's sovereignty added to tlie King's personal irresponsibility. The independence and primordial nature of monarchical rights were fundamental ideas* of German political life, and remained alive even in a period of constitutional development. The Koenigsberg- speech, delivered on August 27th,. was the one in which the Kaiser declared that ho looked upon himself as the instalment of the Lord, adding that ho would go his way regardless of the views and opinions of the day.
