KAISER AND CROWN PRINCE
POPULARITY WITHOUT POWER
Times and Sydney Sun Services.
London, April 2.
A neutral traveller writes that the war has undoubtedly increased the Kaiser's popularity. He is the embodiment of all the people most admire. He has the outward appearance of ostentatious piety, and his cleverness and activity have led the masses to believe him infallible. He has not the same influence among the military, and is not permitted to interfere seriously with the plans of the campaign.
It is rumoured that the Crown' Prince does not possess a vestige of power, although he retains his popularity among the officers. Sensible Germans know that there has been a failure on both fronts despite superhuman efforts and bloody sacrifices. None express disappointment, and are firmly convinced that the allies will soon quarrel and enable Germany to fight England alone.
