BERLIN. Aug. 1S.-Emperor William
unveiled a monument TO the dead of the
regiment OF the First Guards on the St.
Privat battlefield. in the vicinity of Metz.
In the address. which his Majesty made
on the occasion he said:
'Hallowed recollections attend to-day s

sented by one company. its glorious flags

ment In remembrance of those who fell

takes place in the presence of my young
est regiment and the whole army repre-
sented by the troops of the Sixteenth
Corps. This is almost the only regiment
which has not hitherto been represented
by d monument on this blOou-drenched
field. Yet il had full claim 10 one. Al
though il is nearly related by history to
my house, whose princes and kings ii has
been called upon TO train up and though
ii might rightly therefore be considered
as a family household regiment, yet my
grandfather did not hesitate for a mo-
ment TO sacrifice. 10 the welfare OF the
country. the troops so dear to him. His
tory tells US how the regiment fought
bled and fulfilled its oatE. and how its
behavior evoked the praise and its sor
rows the tears OF the great Emperor.
This regiment. with me as its senior com
rade to-day sets up a memorial of stone
TO its heroes who rest beneath the sward.
The design Of this monument differs
from that usual on battlefelds. A mail
clad angel leans in calm repose on
sword adorned with the regiments proud
motto, semper tails. l desire that the
meaning of this figure be generally
known. 1t stands on this field as a guar
dian of all the brave soldiers OF both
armies French and German. who fell.
Tho French soldiers who found a glor-
ious grave at St. Privat also fought
bravely and heroically for their Emperor
and fatherland. When our flags are low
cred in greeting before this bronze statue
and flutter rnournfully over the graves
of our dear comrades, may they wave
over the tombs of our foes and whisper
that we think sorrowfully of their brave
dead With deep thanks and an upward
glance to the Lord of Hosts for the guild
ance he so mercifully vouchsafed to our
great. Emperor, we will recall that the
countless souls of all who once stood face
TO face in hot encounter Will look down
upon US from this day from whence they
stand around the throne of the supreme
Judge, united in eternal peace
Emperor William strongly emphasized
the words all and both in his utter
ances when referring to all the brave
soldiers of both armies.
