GERMANY AGAIN.

MORE BOMBASTIC UTTERANCES/

A DISQUIETING SYMPTOM

(United Press Association—Copyright.) BERLIN, Nov. 10. Herr Vmi; Bethmann Hollweg states that the reason for-the despatch of the warship Panther to Agadir was communicated to the Powers before the vessel arrived at Agadir. The statement that the Panther was intended to effect territorial* acquisition was false. It. had merely demionstrated Germany’s right to protect the Germans in Morocco.

Herr HeydebrawcL, the Conservative leader, evoked 'loud cheers by declaring that “Germans won’t stand Lloyd George’s postprandial* orations. Germany now ‘knows who wonts to hold universal sway. Germany is ready to make sacrifices, and toogive the German answer. ’’ (Renewed cheers.) LONDON, Nov. 10. The newspapers consider such speeches as Heydebrand’s a disquieting symptom. . Some however,, make allowances for the approach of the general elections, and ompbasise that present omens foreshadow sweeping Socialistic gains in Germany unless the tide. can be turned in favor of* the national parties.

CROWN PRINCE’S INTERVENTION

TAINTED WITH PAN-GERMANISM

(Received Nov. IT. 5.5 p.m.)

BERLIN, Nov. 11. Herr Von HollWeg; yesterday surprised the Reichstag by passionately condemning Heydebrandi The Chancellor concluded : “A strong man does not need to be for ever can-yin g the sword in his mouth.” (Cheers.) He addled the impending elections have more to do with the speech than either Morocco or Congo. Leading newspapers vigorously protest against the Crown Prince’s unprecedented action. He annlauded every word which told against Hoßfweg, every reference tio the German sword, and' every utterance against France and England. The newspapers also assert that the Kaiser has expressed dissatisfaction at the Prince's conduct. The “-Vossiche Zeitung”'declares- that Hollweg stands for the-Emperor’s poli.cy, whereof the Prince-did not conceal His-, disapproval. The “Vossiche”' asks the immediate, and forcible denial' that tho Prince is tainted with pan-German-ism:.

I'll©: “Frankfurter Zeitung” says that no party will Ire gratified at the Princess' intervention in polities. _ The- ‘‘•Berlin Post” hold’s that it cannot be denied that the Prince, ill common with the patriotic Germans, condemned the Moroccan agreement The “Vorwaerts” declared’ the Piince’s action inflicts an injury on ‘Germany. Plm-Gcrman newspapers hail! the Prince as one of themselves. The “Berliner Tageblatt” says:- i: We condemn the Chancellbr’s policy, but by no means desire an officers’ club on the frontier of the Crown Pbirrcely party.”
