"He came to Belgium honorably and honestly to gain information. Anything else is calumny. Those Belgians who regarded the reception by me of a German as an act of treason grasped him effusively by the hand when they learned that he came to find out and to speak the truth. "Yours, "CAMILLE HUYSMANS." DID NOT CHEER THE KAISER BERLIN, _October_ 24, 1914. Editor, _Berliner Tageblatt_. Berlin. DEAR SIR: In your report of the meeting of the Prussian Assembly on the 22nd of the month you say that during the reading by Dr. Delbrueck of the greetings of the Kaiser the whole house stood (that means, the Social-Democrats also). That does not correspond with the truth. The Social-Democratic members of the Assembly, who were in their places, remained seated. With reference to the closing speech of the President your report reads that the whole House applauded and took part in the cheers for the Kaiser. That also is not true. Five members (Hofer, Adolf Hoffmann, Paul Hoffmann, Liebknecht and Stroebel,--_S.

I would ask you to print the above correction according to paragraph II of the Press Law. Respectfully, KARL LIEBKNECHT.

"In the Socialist press of the neutral countries of Sweden, Italy and Switzerland, Comrades Dr. Suedekum and Richard Fischer have attempted to portray the attitude of the German Social-Democrats towards the present War in the light of their own ideas. We feel ourselves forced therefore to explain through the same mediums that we, and certainly many other German Social-Democrats, look on the War, its causes and its character, as well as on the role of the Social-Democrats at the present time, from a standpoint which in no way corresponds to that of Dr. Suedekum and Herr Fischer. At the present time the state of martial law makes it impossible for us to give public expression to our views." REICHSTAG MEETING, DECEMBER 2, 1914, AND LIEBKNECHT'S DOCUMENT EXPLAINING WHY HE VOTED "NO" At the second War Session of the Reichstag, Dec. 2, 1914, Karl Liebknecht not only voted against the War Budget--the only member of the Reichstag so to vote--but also handed in an explanation of his vote, which the President of the Reichstag refused to allow to be read, nor was it printed in the Parliamentary report. The President banned it on the pretext that it would entail calls to order. The document was sent to the German Press, but not one paper published it. The full text of the protest was received by way of Switzerland. It runs as follows:
