Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE Kaiser has sc

Justify. The Kaiser's voice was hus-
ky but strong and he spoke with evil
dent enthusiasm. He looked tired
however, and gave the appearance OF
| having aged considerably.
When it 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 moors and followed an ad-
dress by Professor Tacks. He showed
wonderful familiarity with the sub
ject.
The Kaiser showed that he knew
something about farming as well as
nearly everything else by describing
how he had personally superintended
the reclamtion of 500 acres Of swamp
land on his estate at Cadtnen.
said, he expended $4,000 in draining
this land, and thereby increased its
productiveness $4,000 annually.

American bulls from Hagenback's
menagerie,' the Kaiser said, land
mated them with my cows at Cadinen
The result has been a splendid i'm
provement in the breed and 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.'1
All through his address the Kaiser
inclined to humor which brought con-
tinued applause. At it's conclusion the
women in the galleries waved their
handkerchiefs

RUSSIA WARNED
IN The ATTACK
AGAINST CHINA
Especial from United Press.)

London, Feb. 17-European ChanceI-
lors are, today, warning Russia to pro-
itary demonstration against China. In
several instances these warnings are
said to have taken the form of Off
cial notes to the Russian foreign Of
flee.
'1n the present state of affairs in
China" today's London Times says,
"any threat of forcible action by e
foreign power may be attended by far
reaching consequences. 1t is hoped
that before Russia proceeds to the
extremity of an invasion of Chinese
territory, she will weigh the possible
result
Fear of an anti-foreign outbreak
in China, should Russia make good
her threat, is expressed by many
statesmen familiar with Chinese af-
fairs China has shown willingness
to arbitrate the question of her al
legged violation of the treaty Of 1881
and this gives rise to the hope that
she may yield before actual hositilities
are precipitated.
Russia demands the right, under
the treaty to regulate export and i'm
port duties within the duty free zone;
to open consulates at Kobdo, Chamhi,
Guchen and other points along the
frontier; to acquire real estate in Mon
golia and improve it in whatever way
desired; special trade privileges and
duty free commerce with Mongolia and
the extra-wall provinces, the protec-
ton Of the extra-territorial rights of
Russians in China and the trial Of
Russians in suits with Chinese by
mixed courts.
Washington, Feb. IA loud cry to
Uncle Sam for help in the face of
menacing attitude Of Russia, was ex-
pected from China, today, by State
Department officials. From London
comes the proposal that the United
States be named arbitrator but it is
yet too early for this suggestion to
be considered seriously.
Pending Russia's promised state
ment of her case, the sympathies of
the state Department, today, were de-
cidedly with China. It is felt that
1T is most inconsiderate of Russia to
adopt bullying methods toward China
at this time when half of that country
is being depopulated by plague and
