NEWS SUMMARY.
WILLIAM WANTS PEACE.
His Address, However. Teens With
Warlike Suggestions.

The rcichstag opened to-day. Herr Won
Boetticher read the emperor's speech from
the throne. The address says: The active
attention OF the present reichstag has been
especially directed TO the securing OF peace
abroad and at home, aud the tasks of the
forthcoming session will be in the same di-
rection. When the reichstag met in 1887,
the foremost object was the consolidation
OF the deien slve powers OF the fatherland.
Your co operation TO this enS will again be
claimed. In order 10 develope the efficiency
of the army, its readiness Tor action in ac-
cordance with whatever circumstances
may arrive, will thereby impart To the
efforts of the emperor and his exalted
allies for the preservation of peace the
weight which is their due in the council OF
nations
A bill will be presented by the govern
ment amending the military law. II will
provide tor a fresh distribution OF the
army, and is intended TO readjust in the
interest OF the training and conduct OF the
army, the inequalities OF organization
which have arised through strengthening
the army and the displacement OF troops
from time TO time. From this cause, and
the corresponding expansion OF the naval
power arises the additional expenditure
set forth in the budget.
In East Africa, thanks TO the approval
of the reichstag, thorough measures for the
suppression OF the slave trade and the pro-
lection of German interests have been TAX
en-. The forces organized have, conJolntly
with the navy so far accomplished their
tasks, rendering it again possible, after
agreement with the other participating
powers, 10 raise the blockade. The sultan
OF ZANZIBAR moreover has issued compre-
hensive DEGREES promising TO insure the
abolition of slavery.
The hopes expressed by the emperor 10
the rechstag on November 22, losS, that
with God help the peace of Europe would
be sustained, have not only been realized,
but have gained strength as regards the
future, owing TO the personal relations
which the emperor has since cultivated
with the rulers OF friendly allies, thereby
helping 10 strengthen the confidence felt
abroad in the honest love of peace animal
ing Germany's policy and lustifyng The
belief that European peace, based on the
existing treaties, God helping, VIII be
maintained during 1920.
The budget presented 10 the reichstag
increases the army charges 46,OO0,OoO
marks, including I'll ,000, 900 marks for the
artillery. The naval estimates are increas-
ed 81, 600, 600 marks.
