PEACE NOT IN DANGER
Rests on Too Solid Foundations In
Europe to be Easily Upset

Strassburg. Aug. S0.-At a banquet
here this evening, Emperor William,
in proposing toast, said:
Il rejoice to be able to express 10
you my deepest conviction that the
peace OF Europe is not in danger. 1t
rests upon too solid foundations to be
easily upset by indictments and cal
umnies provoked by envious and Ill
disposed individuals.
Firm security exists in the first
place, in the consclences of the prin-
ces and statesmen Of Europe, who
know and feel that they are respon-
sible to God for the lives and prosper
ity of the peoples entrusted to their
leadership On the other hand II is
the will and desire Of the peoples
themselves, to make themselves use
full by TRANQUILITY pursuing the devel-
opment of the magnificent achieve
ments of Va progressive civilization
and to measure their strength in
peaceful rivalry.
Finally, peace also is assured and
guaranteed by our power on land and
sea- by the German people in arms.
Proud of the manly discipline and the
love of honor of her armed forces Ger
many is determined to keep them on
their high level. without menace to
others and to develop them as her
own interests demand, favoring none
and injuring none"

Roberts, Jr., who was wounded on
Wednesday night on the board walk

1T was an attempt at robbery, pure

Roberts was shot because he refused
to comply with the demands OF the
man in the mask, who had ordered
him to give up his money.
Words have been put In my mouth
about this sad affair that never
spoke. Sentiments have been ascribed
to me that | never had. The whole
thing has been distorted and greatly
exaggerated.
Il begged Mr.. Roberts to give the
man what money he had, but Mr.. Rob
erts, instead, rushed at the man, who
was covering him with pistol, and
stood a few PAGES off. AS Mr.. Rob
erts started forward the man fired
two shots in all, one of them taking
effect. At the moment | did not know
that Mr.. Roberts was shot and doubt
If he realized it. Although struck by
one of the bullets, he kept on toward
the man without pausing, and the vii

Because he failed to make railroad

in his stead. Mr. Wellington laid
particular stress upon the necessity
for large republican majority in Yer
