HE speech of the German Chancellor, Prince Maximilian, to the Reichstag matches the latest German note in its wordy attempt to assert the claims of a Government unwilling to the consequences of certain military defeat. Obviously, however, in larger measure than the note, Prince ian’s speech is meant for those within Germany’s frontiers. Tn this latter aspect the Chancellor's words reveal something | and more significant than a pose of patriotic defiance toward’ Governments eager for war.” | | Undet all that Prince Maximilian says can be felt the desperate fort of the present German Government to learn how far the » faulty represents them. its assertion that it p poople themselves will bear it out in The Chancellor almost overdoes the new policy by which the itself behind “the German tek in every paragraph that is to go before the public in or out _ of Germany. ] “The German people have spoken to President Wilson.” ! “Thé whole German people are anxious to bear tae Goy- ernment’s views regarding the success of peace negotiations. “President Wilson's last note has not made clear to the * German people bow this public agitation will end.” “I bave no doubt the German Government, in the name of the German people, will issue a call for national defence.” H ‘ “The German people must not be brought blindly to the | , conference table.” “Tae aim of myself and my colleagues iy political authority | * for the German people.” “In ifs contrast to an earlier manner of German official speech, “thistnew’ tone denotes deep and growing anxiety on the part of the , tituted authorities of the German Empire, not alone as to how ir their right to speak “for the German nation is recognized ontside Germany, but also as to whether they can count on 4 Germans to substantiate their claims at home. | Amagine a German Chancellor two years ago congratulating the 0 f German Government effaces - fe majority in people upon electoral reforms amounting to equal direct in Prussia and a contemplated “legal extension of the Chan- ilor’s political responsibilities” to a point where he becomes a popu- ‘instead of an Imperial servant! “We are convinced the Government and Parliament thereby may supply precious forces from the people which up to this | time bave not been utilized, ~No Imperial German Goverument would talk that way unless “donvinced that “precious forces from the people” which up to this it has not needed are the only forces it can now invoke to save "it from destruction. s SThe worst of it is, from the Imperial point of view, that all a Gecbens will not understand their Government is being liberalized tréti above. 2 "Many of them go on insisting with another Maximilian—who ‘ie mp Trinee but is none the less listened to as the redoubtable editor of Die Zukunft—that the liberalizing process has got (o start from below and that Lnperialism must sacrifice more than the privilege ‘of parading itself in official utterances c What the present German Chancellor says cbuut peace and tight- # img ip his Reichstag speech—the “enemy at our gates,” “no submis- Mieh to @ peace of violence” part of it—can be put aside with the German note as the calculated resistance of a power hard pressed that | seeks to save what it can.

HE was very beautiful and very clever. She was the indirect cause of one war and a potent factor In ai- other, History knows her as “Mary of Modena.” Her full name was Maria Beatrice Anne Margaret Isabel. She was the daughter of the Duke of Modena. For reasons of statecraft she was married at fifteen to the Duke of York (after whom New York was named), the younger brother of Charles Il, King of England. James, Duke of York, was a dark, gloomy, sour-looking man. Mary | was married to him by proxy and had never set eyes on him until she was | brought over to England. : “What were your first feelings when you saw the man you had mar- ried?” asked one of her relatives, “Those feelings,” cadly answered Mary, “can best be expressed by tears!” King Charles died without direct heirs and the Duke of York came ta the throne as “James 11." Mary, thus, was Queen of Hngland—an honor sh» was not destined to enjoy long. ‘The English people—many of them—hated James and were none to» fond of his foreign wife. Soon this hatred had reached a point where James's |crown was not safe on his head.

So, almuss without opposition, William of Orange became King in James's place. James's followers at once sprang to arms, calling themselves “Jacobite: (the Latin word for “James” being “Jacobus"), and a sertes of petty civil wars began—wars which might or might not have been averted if Jamos had not obeyed his wife's wishes and deserted his throne, Mary went to the French court. There she induced King Louis XIV. to declare her son the rightful King of England and to espouse his cause ag | such, and this gave birth to another and far deadiler war, | King William resented Louis's action and formed an alignce against him with several other European nations.
