EMPEROR MILL HIM TALKS.
Peace of Europe is Assured, He
 Says, For Long Years.

He Said That Having Won a Place in the Sunshine He Would Try to Hold It-He Eulogized Herr Albert Ballin For His Work as a Bold Adventurer In Making Peaceful Conquests. Cuxhaven, June 19.-At the conclu- sion of the regatta held yesterday on
 the lower Elbe, a dinner was given on board the Hamburg American yacht Victoria Luise at which Emperor Will liam made a speech. His majesty told his hearers that he deduced from re cent events in China the guarantee that
 long years to come, because of the mtl-
 tual esteem and spirit of comradeship
 created by the united action of the al
 lied contingents.
 His majesty, in reply to the burgo-
 masters toast, said: s'I express to all
 of you, comrades on the water, my de
 light that it has been granted me once
 more to partake with you in the races of the North German Regatta club. His
 magnifcence. in his brief, pithy speech, has just given us picture of the
 progress made by our fatherland in the domain of aquatic sport. My whole task in future will be to assure you that the seeds now sown shall spring up in peace and security. Not withstanding the fact that we as yet have not a navy such as we should have, we have won for ourselves a place in the sunshine, and it will now be my task to take care this place re mains in our undisputed possession, so that the suns rays may shed fruitful influence over our trade and inter- course abroad and industry and agri- culture at home, and also on the yacht ing on our waters, for our future lies on the water. The more Germans go on the water, whether in yacht races or on voyages across the ocean, or in the service of the German naval flag, the better it is for us, for once the German has learned to keep an eye on the far horizon the pettiness surround ing him in his daily life disappears. If man wants to get this broad and higher view Hanseatic tour is surely the most suitable place for him. We have drawn our conclusions from what Emperor William the Great and the great man whose monument we have just unveiled left us as their creation Those conclusions consist in this: that we start at the point at which the old Hansa had to leave off becaused it tackled the vivifying> and protecting power of the empire. May it, there fore, now be the task of my house, in profound peace. to promote and pro tect. trade and commerce for long years to come. behold in the events of which China has been the scene, and of which the present return of the troops marks the close, guarantee that European peace is assured for long years to come, for the services per- formed by the individual contingents have called forth an appreciation, based on mutual esteem and comrade- ship, which can only contribute to the maintenance of peace. I trust that profting by this peace our Hansa towns will flourish and that our new Hansa will mark out path for win ming and retaining new trade outlets. As the supreme head of the empire I can only rejoice over every Hanseatic man who goes forth with far-seeing gaze, seeking new points where we can knock in nails in which to hang our armor."
 Emperor William concluded with an eu1ogy of the director general of the Hamburg American line (Herr Albert Ba1lin), who had ,sgone forth as a bold adventurer to make peace conquests, whose fruits our grandchildren will reap.''
