Berlin, Mar. 18.
The Reichstag to-day, by. 268 votes to 150, passed the third reading of the new Bill for the protection of the Republic, provides for penalties, even Penal servitude, for those who plot against the lives of members and officials of the Government and for those who publicly insult the Republic, the flag, the President or members of the Cabinet, Germans can be prosecuted if guilty of the above while abroad.
Tt is worthy of note that the Bill does not restrict, as the old Bil does, the movements of the ex-Kaiser, who can, therefore, now return' to Germany.—Reuter.
