"Punch" and the Prussian Bully.


"NANA WOULD NOT GIVE ME A BOW-WOW!"

[The German Emperor is reported to have said, "It was impossible for me to anticipate the rejection of the Army Bills, so fully did I rely upon the patriotism of the Imperial Diet to accept them unreservedly. A patriotic minority has been unable to prevail against the majority... I was compelled to resort to a dissolution, and I look forward to the acceptance of the Bills by the new Reichstag. Should this expectation be again disappointed, I am determined to use every means in my power to achieve my purpose."—The Times.]

May 20, 1893.

The Prussian Bully complains that he cannot have it all his own way.
