Berlin, Sept. 22.-Emperor William
now seldom misses an opportunity OF
warning German students to moderate
their drinking habits, and to adopt
rather the American model of student
life Several days ago, upon the occa-
sion of presenting a flag to the Gym
nasium at Cassel where he was pre-
pared for the university, in order to
commemorate his connection with that
school, he made a brief address to the
students of the senior class, advising
them, when in the university, to use
less alcohol. The traditional drinking
customs, he said, We're no longer
adapted to a time in which Germany
must struggle for its position in the
worlds markets. Then he praised the
abstemious life of American students,
and he had often been impressed, he
said, with their ability. German stu
dents, His Majesty repeated in a line
with what he has often said to other
student assemblies, must give more
attention to sports of all sorts, in
Guiding fencing and rowing, instead
of trying to create new records for tbs
amount of beer that they can swal
low.
