KING. WILLIAMS sPEEsU.
In the Kings speech to the Isrliamen
to-day, he declared the Responsibility Of I'll,
war will fall on the man who dragged tw,
great people into devastating war, for tn,
purpose Of furthering his own personal in
tercsts. The King said that Prussia had n,
interest IN the selection ofthe Prince Hohen
zOllcrn to the Spanish throne, except that il
might bring peace to friendly People. 1t hat
nevertheless, furnished the Emperor Of III,
French with a prctext for war unknown L
diplomacy and sc'rning peace he had nset
some very harsh language TO Germany which
could only have been prompted by a
miscalc1Ilalion Of their strength. Germany
was powerful enough to resent such lang,lag,
and repel such insOlence. He said so in all
reverence, knowing that the event weighed
the responsibility on the man who drives int
war and havoc, two great and tranquil IA
tions, warming for peace and their enjoy
ment of the common blessings of Christian
civization and prosperity, for contests NOR
Statutory than those Of blood The rulers u
France have shrewdly studied the prone,
methods Of hitting I've sensitive pride Of tina,
great neighbor nation, and promote the sci
fish interests that have tmisg,iided it. Thus,
concluded the King, as our fathers be.
fore us have done, let us fight for liberty
and our rights against the wrongs inflicted
by a foreign conguerer. And as he was with
our fathers, 80 God will he with rs in q
struggle without which Europe can never
enjoy lasting peace.
