MONARCHISTS’ DEMONSTRATE. HINDENBURG’S TRUCULENCE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, May 9. "rhe Daily Telegraph’s Berlin correspondent says a curious commentary on the present situation is furnished by the unveiling of the war memorial at Spandau in celebration of the ex-Crown Prince’s birthday. Von Hindenburg, in a speech, said: “With joy and pride we think in fidelity, love and veneration of our most gracious Kaiser, King and Lord, our illustrious leader in our superhuman struggle for honour and the existence of the Fatherland.”
Von Gessler, Minister for Defence, as a comical anti climax, said: “We concentrate in the vow of most faithful fulfilment of our duty to the German nation, State and Republic.” The correspondent adds that Gessler had long played with reactionary fire and now had burned his fingers. There will be a great rumpus over his participation in the Monarchists’ demonstration.
