Greet Kniscr With Cheers.

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE Kaiser has
SO far recovered from his col and
catarrhal trouble that he appeared
to-day at the German agricultural
councils session and surprised his
audience by making an extended
speech.
When the Emperor appeared in the
auditorium. Count Schwerin. president

the entire audience arose and cheered

but strong. and he spoke with evident
enthusiasm. He looked tired. how
ever. n gave the appearance Of
having aged considerably.
When II came to reading his notes
the Kaiser adjusted a pair of eye
glasses, it being the first time he
has used them In public.
The Kaiser's address concerned the
reclamation Of German moo and fol-
lowed an address by Prof. Tackle. He
showed wonderful familiarity with the
subject.
The kaiser sent word to-day that
he would attend the dedication Of the
national memorial to the late Queen
Victoria of England. his grand
mother, in England on May is.
The kaiser showed that he knew
something about farming, as well az
nearly everything else, by describing
how he had personally superintendent
the reclamation of 500 acres of swamp
land on his estate at Gardiner,
Against his stewards advice, he
said. he expended $50 0 in draining
this land thereby increasing its pro-
ductiveness $4,000 annually.
Il borrowed American and South
American bulls from Hagenback's
menegrie,' the kaiser said, land
mated them with my cows at Cadinen,
The result has been a splendid i'm
provement In the breed and q big
gain for the German farmer. One OF
the American bulls was named
Major but this did not mean that he
was qualified to enter the army staff.
All through his address, the kaiser
inclined TO humor. which brought
continued applause. AT its conclusion

their handkerchiefs.

The v~irginian is pleased to an
nounce receipt of contributions to the

This sum will Immediately be for
warded to the Red Gross Society in
Washington to be used in the pur-
chase of foodstuffs to be shipped to
China on an army transport which
congress has gratuitously provided.
While The Virginian is glad to tell
of the contributions received. the list
printed does not reflect the credit
upon Richmond that 1t should. A
majority OF the contributions are from
readers of The Virginian in other
parts of the State, Richmond peo-
pie should lead the list both In num-
bers of contributors and amounts of
contributions.
President Taft has Issued a second
proclamation calling upon the people
of this country to rally to the aid of
stricken China, two and a halt mill
lions Of whose people ACE starva-
ton and death by pestilence and ex-
posure. One dollar and a half will
save a life, and there Is not a single
soul in Richmond who would not
willingly make the greatest sacrifice
to prevent the death of a human
being. While IT is true tina China
is a great distance from Richmond,
the suffering in the Oriental country
Ia just as real and narrowing as If IL
were visible to the people of Rich
mond, and those who can spare a dime
or a dollar should feel IL a humane
duty to assuag a. far as possible
with their contributions the sorrow
and suffering of the unfortunates vel
living in the inundated provinces oil
China which were f~ioodswept by the
overtiowing OF the Hwai river.
The virginian urges the people Of
Richmond to aid in this most worth,
and humanitarian movement, thai
they may not only assist in the re.
lief of the afflicted Chinese, but plac.

front rank Of cities which have given
succor in this time of dist ess. The
Vfrginian will gladly receive all con
tr~fhutions, announce them publicly
and forward them to those who have
