Emperor William Of Germany is
evidently determined TO make it very
plain that the time has arrived when
Germany must either give upiJs repu-
tation as the land of excessive beer
drinking or continue TO endure PEN
atty that should not be permitted. Up
on the occasion OF recent presenta-
tion Of flag TO the gymnasium at
Cassel Emperor William made brief
address TO the students OF the senior
class especially advising them against
beer drinking. He referred to the
traditional drinking custom of the Ger
man people and declare that no 9th
er evil in his empire has brought great
er harm or had caused more wide
spread suffering aud loss. Heappealed
to the students and TO all the young
men in Germany TO become partici-
pants in something that would give
greater glory TO their country and
more Satisfaction and value TO Them
selves than the disgraceful old custom
that never should have existed, of
irving to create new records for the
amount Of beer they could swallow
No man in public or private life 10 any
country on the globe stands at this
time more opposed to the saloons and
their purposes and especially TO beer
drinking as does Emperor William of
Germany.

Men. women and children were Civ.
en- all the beer they could drink at a
drunken debauch provided at Com
stock.Park, Grand Rapids, a few nights
ago by several persons who pretended

the park ny announcement of a free

were given all the beer they could
