The Kaiser to Naval Recruits.

BERLIN, March 2--In his address TO the
naval recruits yesterday at Wilhelmshaven

example of the officers and crew of the
Hamburg-American liner Bulgaria in her
recent terrible experience. He drew a dis

age. The difference" said his Majesty, lis
that the Christian does his duty even when
nobody sees him. The Bulgaria was n

oblivion" The naval recruits before him,

through a time of trial, and he hoped in
