Germany's Chief dim to Preserve
the Empires Harmony.

ST. Johann. saarbrGcken. May 14.-Emperor
William replying to the Burgomaster's address
Of welcome upon the arrival of his majesty
here to-day, recalled the year 1870, when En-
peror William / passed through Saarbr1cken
on his way to the battlefield OF Spchern. The
Emperor said:
To his efforts and 20 the grace OF God IS due
the fact that Saarbrucken is no longer a frontier
city. This territory is no longer open to devas-
tating attacks by enemy, for l, his successor
as the German Emperor, come from the frontier
fortress of Metz, which is a strongly fortified
bulwark of this land, which, God willing, will
never again be devastated by war, for so long
as every German does his duty to the Father
land-namely, POUNDS a home and dedicates
his forces 10 the Fatherland-so long will our
unity show itself to the world without, 1t
must in order that may live in peace.
l pray God TO lead me in my endeavors 10
preserve the peace Of my land. AS we have a
clear conscience and look for quarrels nowhere,
Goo will stand by should hostile forces at
tack our peacefulness.
In conclusion Emperor William expressed the
conviction that the citizens OF Saarbricken
would always strike for their affairs. the empire
the Emperor and the Fatherland.

ports by cable to the State Department from
Picking that the Chinese government has reit-
Grated its determination to observe the strictest
neutrality, and has asserted its ability to do So
In reinforcement of Minister Congers state
ment. Sir Chentung Lang Cheng the Chinese
Minister called on Acting Secretary Loonis to-
day and made the following declaration:
At the beginning of the conflict between Japan
and Russia an imperial decree was issued de-
claring the neutrality Of China. This action was

chief. 1t is the fixed purpose OF the imperial
government to maintain the strictest neutrality
