DEFENDS THE CHANCELLOR.
Kaiser Lauds Action of von Bethmann Hollweg’s Supporters.
BERLIN, Nov. 21.—Emperor William has just taken occasion to declare publicly his support of Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg against attacks upon him by his opponents at home.
A number of prominent persons in Karlsruhe and vicinity having recently sent the Chancellor a letter condemning the campaign of his opponents against him and the present methods of conducting the war, and having sent a copy of this document to the Emperor, the latter caused the Chief of the Civil Cabinet to reply in the Emperor’s behalf that he observed with lively satisfaction this demonstration from Karlsruhe.
