GUEST OF THE NATION.
LONDON, July s. The Times and
Standard emphasize the fact that the
Emperor, upon the occasion of this, the
third visit to England, is guest OF the
nation as well as of the court. These
newspapers also dilate upon the friend
ship existing between the two nations,
which they say amounts to a tacit
alliance.
The Standard adds that it can only be
of advantage to the peace of the world
that it should be known that any con-
spiracy against the stability Of the exist
ing European system would be met by a
union of England's naval and Germany's
military strength. TO proclaim this fact,
the Standard continues, infiicts neither
humiliation nor injury upon any State
sharing our regard for public treaties
and for peace.
The Standard then proceeds to defend
the immense armament of Germany on
the ground that no other method Of in
suring peace is known, saying: ''It is
for dissatisfied countries to disarm.
Peace-loving countries are ready To fol-
low"
