The Prince, the Daily News correspondent goes on to say
openly applauded when the Chancellor mentioned the resigna- tion of the Colonial Secretary. He shook his bead when Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg, referring to Great Britain, denied that at any moment Germany had been subject to foreign pressure, or had yielded to such pressure. Again, we are told that during a jingo speech by Herr von Hertling, which followed that of the Chancellor, the Crown Prince openly clapped his brother, who sat by him, " delightedly on the back." The correspondent concludes, " I doubt if such a scene has been witnessed in any German Parliament before." How far this is exaggerated we do not know, but we record it on the responsibility of the Daily News and for what it is worth— noting that it appears to be endorsed by a considerable section of the Berlin Press.
