KAISER DISCUSSES "RED PERIL"
Speaks Of Risks Taken by Heads Of
Orderly Governments.

New York, Aug. A cable dispatch
to morning paper from Paris says:
The Matin publishes an interview

Emperor William, in which his majes-
ty said that the yellow peril was not
the sole danger threatening the world.
there being also the red danger. "The
heads of states" the emperor added,
whether Of absolute or constitutional
smonarchies or republics, hourly risk
their lives. President Fallieres runs
the same risks as the czar, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt the same risks as King
Alfonso Those aiming at the aboli-
ton of all authority and order by gov
ernments are thoroughly agreed, while
those charged with the duty Of maxi
inE order respected are unfortunate

Speaking to a French naval officer,
the kaiser said: 'It is freely report

that some fresh scandal has broken
out in the French army. 1t is absolute
ly false. We Europeans live too close

too intermingled for us not to feel an

Upton TALKS OF YACHT CUP.
Sailor Baronet Wants to Build Boats
4 and Race Ono In America.

London, Aug. 6.-Sir Thomas Upton,
whose anxiety to challenge again for
the Americas cup is we'll known, has
made the suggestion to a number Of
prominent yachtsmen on this side the
Atlantic that, in case he sees his way
clear to formal challenge, he would
dixie to secure concession from the
New York Yacht club allowing him
to build two yachts. sail one against
the other and send the better boat
against the defender.
He firmly believes he is justified in
seeking this concession. The defend
ing side, as is well known, has the
privilege of trying out its boats, but
the challenger must, under the deed
of gift, name the boat with the chal-
lenge. Yachtsmen here who have dis
cussed this matter informally seem to
agree with Sir Thomas that his de-
sire to obtain such a concession is
perfectly fair
While no formal statement has been
made by Sir Thomas Upton that he
has any legitimate hopes of success
in this direction, the inference is that
he has sounded certain of the New
York Yacht club officials and is not
without reasonable expectations that
the question may be raised at the
proper time with satisfaction to both
sides.
