The difference OF opinion between the King
and bis ministers led him, In September, 1861,
to dismiss them and to intrust his government
TO Count Won Bismarck. The new President OF

THE BUILDING OF GERMANY.
IL is unnecessary to detail here the events OF
the Franco-Prussian war OF 1901. BY reason
OF superior strength, discipline, and general
ship the German army achieved a succession OF
victories which left France. for the time being.
completely at its mercy. For the third time
| when he re-entered Berlin at the head OF the
army ON the 10th Of June, 1871, IL was no Longer
| as King OF Prussia but as Emperor OF united
Germany. Since then he has devoted himself
| to the perfection OF the military force OF his
empire. The most triting detail OF its anna

THE EMPEROR IN HISTORY.
Emperor Williams reputation is pre-emi-
nently that of great military hero, and as such
| he will live in history. His claims TO states
manship rest chiefly on his remarkable sagacity
! In the choice OF counselors and ministers loya
| to himself and to tho interests OF the country
| and his answering fidelity in sustaining them
| in their policy so long as it accorded with his
| own most intelligent ideas OF tho needs of the
nation. Throughout his long career he has
been a hard and tireless, as we'll as Intelligent
| and successful. worker Tor the building up OF q
great nation. He has set example of all the
strictly military virtues TO the German army
which has been productive of almost inestim a.
BILE results Similarly he has shown TO the
world. in his spotless family life, model o.
conduct and demeanor eminently behtting Q
great ruler OF men.
Emperor William was married June IL, 1929
