PLEADS FOR LOYALTY
Emperor William Makes Some
Highly Sensational Remarks
to His Soldiers.

TO tbs soldiers.
A special from Berlin says: The con-
servative German papers do not dis
cuss Emperor Williams speech to the
Alexander Grenadier regiment at their
new barracks Thursday, but the lib
eral papers generally comment on his
majesty's utterances, emphasizing the
statement that tie emperor is ill-in
formed concerning the character of the
March (184S) revolution in Berlin.
The National Zeitung expresses its
inability to comprehend what current
events induced the emperor to refer to
the revolution of 1846, and says that
it does not see any signs of his majesty
needing a body guard.
The Vossiche Zeitung is also unable
to see any occasion for the emperor's
words, since nobody in Berlin is think

predecessors repeatedly recognized the
loyalty of Berlin's population.
The Vowaerts cites a number of
previous speeches of the emperor, ex-
horting the soldiers to fight for him
when necessary, and claims that it has

impudent and disobedient.
The Tageblatt is amazed and asks
what has occurred to justify the en-
peror's words. 1t points out that the
revolution of 1849 was not directed
against the Hohenzollern dynasty and
appeals 'from the ill-informed emper-
or to the rightly informed"
According to The Kleine Journal,
Emperor William, during a toast last
evening, said:
Attempts have been made to dis
turb the cordial friendship between
Russia and Germany. 1t is certainly
not my fault if such attempts have
temporarily proved successful. :"
The Berliner Tageblatt, which con-
firms this statement, asserts that the
emperor made speech, when replying
to toast to himself, in which he went
deeply into politics, and especially the
Russo G German relations and his own
relations with the chief of the EN-
peror Alexander Grenadier regiment,
namely, Emperor Nicholas.

The Hanover Courier says: 'There

The Berliner Neueste Nachrichten
approves the emperor's sentiments on
the ground that socialists and an
archists constantly teach hatred of the
kaiser.
The Cologne Gazette blames the
emperor for Throwing new firebrand

is no disposition anywhere to revolt.
