KAISER WILLIAMS SPEECHES.
Most Valued in Germany and Misinterpreted Abroad

?. could he no exaggeration 70 describe
the Emperor William as a born orAuol'
and certainly no reigning prince SPEAKS
in public so frequently. His words nave
IN them an imperious force. which com
pels the attention and invites the criti-
clam friendly or otherwise, OF not mere
~ his immediate hearers. or even his
subjects at large. but Of the whole civil
lized world He is always in the public
eye. enormously popular with a great
many people and disliked by others. and
his g!ft Of speech. which Is marked by
great clearness. force Of expression, and
eloduence OF form, has done more than
anything else I'm earning for him his re-
markable prominence on the worlds
stage.
A determined upholder OF peace, the
most interesting monarch Of modern
times. and in the opinion OF his most
ardent admirers. standing on the same
plane as his prototype, Frederick the
Great. It is only 10 be expected that
every public utterance he makes will be
reported verbatim In the German press
and criticised with that thoroughness
which IS characteristic OF the German
people. In other countries, however, his
speeches are seldom printed in their
true form, and the comments made on
them are often enough based on a mis-
understanding Of his meaning, the conse-
quenCe Of this being that the readers OF
non-German papers form more or less
erroneous ideas Of the man himself and
Of the principles which guide him.
Moreover. even in Germany the Kaiser
does not get full justice from the press.
In Great Britain the throne Is supported
by the newspapers with a loyalty quite
equal 10 that shown by the royalists
of the seventeenth century TO Charles
and Charles II: but in Germany the
case is different. for large portion
OF the press is by no means too loyal.
and not infrequently does not hesitate
TO view the Kaiser's utterances with
more than average bias.
Such circumstances as these make
doubIy welcome the volume OF collected
speeches just published by the we'll
known firm OF Dr. Weber and edited By
Herr Klaussmann. II rs. therefore. graft

are dubious about. is Of a genuine char
acter.
One Of the most striking points made
clear by the order in which the speeches
are arranged is that the principles which
he enunciated in his procIamations to
the people made at the time he ascepded
the throne ne has rigldIy adhered 10
over since. The same idea. emphasized
more or less, Is TO be found In an his
utterances. Then. also. these speeches
give us surprisingly clear picture OF
his individuality; and. indeed. it would
be easy to draw from them an accurate
and comprehensive character sketch Of
the man as well as OF the Emperor. a
better one. in fact. than could be OBJ
tained In any other way. such as from
even the most intimate OF biographies.
Further, the speeches. taken as a whole,
afford evidence that the Kaiser does not
take an irregular or equivocaI course.
He Is eminently consistent.
The contents Of the volume referred 10
are divided into three divisions. and each
Of these is subdivlded into several parts
The divisions are headed as follows
First-The Emperor on Peace and Con
ciliatiOn. Second-The Emperor as a
Preserver and Promoter OF the Interests
Of the Empire. Third-The Emperor in
Private Life. The titles give a good idea
Of the scope OF the matter contained in
the book, the most interesting OF the
subdivisions being those dealing with
the utterances Of the Kaiser which have
special reference to France. the United
States. and Great Britain.
The speeches relating 10 the United
States afford an excellent idea Of the
Kaiser's admiration for that country:
indeed, his admiration may be said to be
so great as to amount almost to envy.
Very characteristic. therefore was his
speech 20 MIR. Phelps. the American am
bassador. the year after his accession.
for he said, II have always greatly ad-
mired the powerful and rapidly rising
nation which you have been sent TO rep
resent. Your history in peace and war

many prominent qualities which your
cOuutrymen are endowed with are Ee-
MUS in enterprise, love Of order, and
gift cf invention. qualities which at
tract the attention of the whole world.
He has manifested his sentiments in
many ways. The telegram to President

plosion Of the hattleship Maine increased
tho popularity he had enjoyed since he

When the renovation Of the Mansion
was undertaken no special provision was
made by the architects for am0rding po-

many years been considered part and

This has not deferred the President,
however. from ordering their return and
