BERLIN, Aug. lS.-Emperor William
lunched today at the headquarters OF the
First Infantry guards, and made another
energetic speech in response TO toast to
his health proposed by Col. Plcsson.
Although the affair was strictly private, II
has transpred that the Empcror's remarks
were mainly n repetition OF his speech at
Frankfort lie said that Germany would |
keep what she had gained, and also exc
pressed his conviction that the army was |
able TO meet all corners A seml-oilicial !
account says that the Emperor, in giving |
a toast TO the regiment, referred 10 the |
training he himself had received in the |
ranks, and to the services which the regl. |
ment had rendered the country IN cult
waiting old Prussian traditions as an ex- |
ample to the army. The language OF En-
peror William, although no immediate
menace is intended, is not TO be attributed
10 his habit OF expressing himself blunty.
His speech at Frankfort was prcmcditated
II not verbally prepared.
The Empcrors ire has boon excited by
the Russian governments permitting Ol
melting the press 10 raise the Schlcswclg-
Ilolstcn question, with the additional |
contention that the Car, ~ the representa-
tive Of the: house of llolstcin-Gottorp, |
claims special rights TO support the claims !
OF Denmark. \ scmi-annual commission |
60 the Cologne Gdsdte says: "llolsciin. |
Schleswcig can only be separated from |
Germany hy war with Russia and France |
as the attacking nations. We take note
that from Russian diplomatic sources Il Is
clearly announced that IN the event OF
successful campaign Denmark would share
in the booty and take part In the con-
nict."
The North German Gds,k also COM
plains that the statements regarding the |
claims OF Denmark should first appear in !
the NDni, paper which h at the disposal |
81 The Russian government In the direction |
OF the quest in which the officials Oi tho |
Russian foreign office are engaged.
The tone Of tie scmi-Oilicial press ON
this occasion does not fully express the
anger felt In tho highest circles toward the
waniOn revival oi buried question. The
Empcror's illusions 10 the achievements
