ALWAYS STOOD FOR CONCORD

LONDON. November 13.-Emperor Will
liam today enjoyed somewhat excep-
tional experience in attending a second
reception at the GuildhaI. where accom-
panied by the empress, he was entertained
at luncheon by Lord Mayor Bell and the
majesties drove several miles through
streets brilliantly decorated with bunting
and lined by troops from Paddington rail-
road station, where they arrived from
an assemblage of some eight hundred
persons, including members of the royal
family, peers, commoners and naval and
military officers. mostly in uniform and
with their breasts glittering with orders
formed a brilliant picture.
Address Of Welcome.
An address of welcome was presented
to the emperor in a magnificent gold cas-
ket. In reply his majesty recalled his
previous reception at the Gutldhall in
1891, and emphasized his unalterable de-
sire to foster the peace Of the world. His
majesty during the course of his remarks
said:
Il said then on this spot that my aim
is, above all, the maintenance of peace.
History, I venture to hope, will do me
Justice, in that l have pursued this aim
unswervingly ever since. The main prop
and base for the peace of the world is the
maintenance Of the good relations between
our two countries, and l will further
strengthen them 50 far as lies in my
power. If the German nations wishes
coincide with mine the future will show
d brighter prospect"
Seemed in Good Spirits.
The emperor and empress after lunch
returned to Paddington station. on their
way back to Windsor by different route,
and everywhere were greeted in the
heartiest manner by the large crowds of
people assembled
Emperor William appeared to be in
splendid spirits throughout. laughing and
Joking with his immediate neighbors, but
his face was pale, thin and drawn.
Crowd Was Chilly.
Persons who had witnessed many royal
receptions by the people of London dur
ing the last decade noticed chiefly today
that the great masses which lined the
streets extended only a very cool welcome
to the kaiser. The cheers accorded to the
cavalcades Of the Prince and Princess of
Wales and Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught were tenfold heartter than those
given the kaiser.
1t seemed that the kaiser. on his re-
turn journey from the Guildhall noticed
that the crowds were attracted chiefly by
curiosity and ceased saluting, even to an
an occasional "Hoch, Hoch' from a COM
patriot
Those who remembered his appearance
In 1901, when he left London after Queen
Victoria's funeral. noticed a great change
in his face, which today was lined with
fatigue.
The socialist protest against the kaisers
visit took the form of a monster meeting
Of the unemployed on Tower Hill, under
federation. 1t passed resolution con-
demntng the lavish expenditure on to-
days entertainment of the kaiser at
time when 12.0OO,OO0 people are on the
verge of starvation.
Hostility of Socialists.
The royal party left Paddington Station
on the return Journey to Windsor at $40
o clock.
The hostility Of the socialists toward
the kaiser and their open incitement of
the public to greet him with boots. groans
and Kisses resulted in exceptional police
precautions to prevent disturbing Incl
dents. All known anarchists and social
lists OF advanced views were closely
watched by detectives.
A man on Cheapside who was wearing
a conspicuous red tie received consider
threatened with rough usage But he
proved to be a respectable citizen whose
unfortunate choice OF tie had led to the
miSunderstandiug.
