welcome your royal and imperial mai

| ed by the thunder of the guns of the.
| German fleet, which is glad to see it's
honorary admiral. 1t is the youngest
creation among the fleets in the world
and an expression of the reviving sea
activity of the German empire, regen-
| Grated by the great emperor of undy-
ing memory. It is intended for the pro-
lection of trade and territory, and it
| also serves, like the German army, for
| the maintenance of peace, which the
German empire has kept over thirty
years and which Europe has preserved
with it. 1t is known to everyone by
your majeSty'S words and influence
that your majesty'S whole endeaVors
are directed to this very end-the
preservation of peace-as I, too, am
ever devoted to the wish that all might
attain this end. May God lend sue
| cess to our efforts.
In unfading remembrance of the
memorable hours spent together at OS-
borne at the deathbed of the great
monarch of the world empire. now
ruled by your majesty, / empty my
glass to the health of your majesty
drink the health of his majesty, the
king of Great Britain and Ireland and
emperor of India
Edward Follows Same Line

Your majesty's appreciative refer
ence to my unremitting endeavors for
the maintenance of peace deeply touch
me, and l am happy in the certainty
that your majesty has the same object
in view. May our two flags float side
| by side to the remOteSt ages, even as
today, for the maintenance Of peace
and the welfare not only of our own
countries, but also Of all other ma
tiOnS"
