BERLIN, Sept. AT a state dinner
this evening, Emperor William, in
toasting the guards, said:
IF today I propose a toast to my
guards, L do so with a joyful heart, for
it is a day of exceptional rejoicing and
brilliancy. A whole people, infiamed
with enthusiasm, provided the frame
for today's review. And the reason
for their enthusiasm was the remem-
brance of the figure and the person.
ality of the great emperor, now dead.
He who, today and yesterday, gazed
upon the colors bedec4ed with oak
his heart being stirred with sorrow
for the spirit and the tongue which
spoke to us in their rustling. These
tattered trophies told of events twenty
five years since; of the great hour, of
the great day, when the German en-
pire rose again. Great was the battle,
hot the turmoil, and mighty the forces
that dashed against each other. Brave
ly fought the enemy for his laurels,
for his past and for his emperor. With
liant French army. The Germans
fought for their lands, their hearts
and for future unity. Therefore, our
feelings are SO deeply stirred, that
every one, who has worn or who wears
the emperor's uniform, is especially
honored by the people. Let our graft
tude fame forth in one united voice
to Emperor William 1.
"Yet, in the noble joy Of the celebra-

selves strength to repel these mon
strous attacks. If they do not, I now
call upon you to resist the trea sonable
band and to wage a war which will
free us from such elements.
'I cannot, however, drink the health
of my guards without mentioning him
under whom they fought twenty-five
years ago. To-Day the future COM
mander of the army of the Meuse
years his majesty, the king of Saxony,
has faithfully shared with us in all the
joy and all the sorrow which has be-
fallen our house and the country. So
also has the king of Wurtemburg.
whose highest joy it Is to have stood
sars of the guard, and to have served
with Emperor William, and who has
hastened hither to celebrate this day
in comradeship. We Germans have
only one obligation, namely, to retain
that which our leaders have conquered
for US. 1 thereby include in my toast
to the Guards Corps, the health of the
two noble princes, and especially of
the commander of the army of the
Meuse.
''Hurrah for his majesty, the king of
Saxony! Again and a third time, hur-
rah!''
The toast was drunk with enthusi-
asm, and the king of Saxony then
arose and said:
'In thanking your majesty, in my
own name and in behalf of the king of
Wurtemburg, for your gracious words.
permit me, myself, again today to take
over the command of the Guards Corps
and in its name to empty my glass to
its august chief. his majesty, Emperor
William II. Hurrah for his majesty!
Hurrah, hurrahn'
