LONDON, July ESPECIALLY The En-
peror of Germany arose at an early
hour this morning, and after light
breakfast left Windsor Castle on horse
back, accompanied by tho Duke of Con-
naught and a brilliant staff. with tho
intention of visiting Elton, England, tho
most popular college school. After en-
joying nice ride tho Emperor reached
Eton's parade grounds, and there FUND
well-equipped, right-looking body of
collegianS, about $50 il numb Der, drawn
up i'll line for his inspection. AS soon
as tho Emperor arrived near tho head
of the limo the Young Elton Volunteers
presented arms in most soldierly
manner, causing the Emperor to smile
with approval. AS the lads brought
their riilcs to present the Elton school
band struck up tho national anthem,
chcered II oSt heartily.
After the last note of the anthem died
away on the morning air, the young
amateur soldiers were put through the
manual OF wars and other exercises.
The youngstcr then marched past the
emperor, who sat on horse back sur
rounded by his staff officers. Tho lads
marching was worthy Of high praise and
evidently greatly pleased the imperial
guest OF England. After the march past
the Elton Volunteers again formed III
line and at Il prcconcertcd signal gave
three ringing cheers for the emperor, in
which greeting they werc joined by
everybody present. Among whom were Il
crowd of Etonians Of the past and pre-
sent.
The Emperor was evidently much
pleased with this. When cheering had
subsidized the Emperor rodc to the front
OF the line and bowling to the young
volunteers praised the manner ip which
they had gone through with their drill,
which, he said. was performed very
crcdi ably. The Emperor added: II
am very much pleased with what have
seen of you.
IF you arc ever called upon to draw
swords in earnest hope you will do so
in good cause, and that you will show
the same pluck and spirit which has
always distinguished British soldiers"
The Emperor afterwards inspected the
college buildings and seemed to have
much interest in the manner in which
Etow lads were housed, taught and fed.

thusiasm and cordiality of the British
reception to the kaiser. 1t is univer-

In European war. France and Russia
would have to calculate on the hospi-
tality of the British fleet. The public
sentiment is very strong against Eng
land and almost no other political mat

There is no concealment of the feel

Russia have been increased to Il degree

the possible result Of Il war, and while

yet bound by no formal agreement to
sustain the cause of the alliance. The
answer of Russia to the renewal of the
triple alliance has been the addition of
