NEW YORK, April 4.-According to
a passenger who arrived here recently
from London the Admiralty believes
that Germany may attempt to invade
England in the next few weeks, and
has made all preparations to give the
enemy a warm reception.
The southeast and east coasts are
protected for miles inland by trenches
which are filed with troops every
night. A feet Of 100 naval aero
planes make flights out over the North
sea day and night to Get the first sight
of any of the German scout ships ap-
preaching from Heligoland. Power
full searchlights have been placed ali
along the coast, which will light the
surface of the water as by day in ease
Of an attack.
"By courtesy of the Admiralty, 3"
the passenger said, ~ was taken to &;
base along the east coast, where there
was fleet Of light cruisers assembled ,
which are OF the latest type and superb
or to the Arethusa class. They are
armed with three six-inch, as wen al
smaller quick-friug and machine guns,
ana have a speed of thirtv-tve knots
Except the new type Of destroyers
which can make forty knots, these
cnisers are the fastest war vessels i'm

estroyers and also n Gotilla of the

two mother ships.
''The naval commander who accom-
panied me on my tour explained new
type of disappearing big guns which
suddenly rise from the water. fire a
round and then sink beneath the waves
without leaving any trace behind
them, the submerged torpedo tubes at
various points along the coast, and
other specimens of what he termed
'frightfulncss, which We're waiting to
welcome any invader on the shores Of
ancient Albion. These prcparations
are exclusive of the permanent land
forts which have been equipped with
the big naval guns having a range OF

to? For be knew that in the past
they all had fought Germany and
had made pledges of friendship
and peace that they had broken
many time.
The writer of this has passed
through one short and small war,
and heartily agrees with General
Sherman's definition of war, and is
going to keep out of it in the
future.
Now to 60 back to the main
subject, "William of Germany"
Emperor William was born Febru-
ary 27, 1859, and was educated at
Bonn, Heidelberg and Berlin uni
versities. He was we'll liked by

bards and Arabs were long and
difficult. And now follow wars
and battles, the most important of
which we're the following: The bat
tie fought in Fontenay in S41,
Verdun in 843-the same Verdun
where they are fighting to-day.
Then in 936 to 937 the Hungarians
burst into Germany and fought
her back and forth across the
country.

blame Germany for preparing for
these forty years, or the Kaiser
for striking when he did. Know
ing the history of his people in
the past, and knowing how little
he could trust the dogs of war who
have been growing outside his
boundary lines for the last two
thousand years. How could he
know if Austria would prove true
or not! For not only she, but sew
eral other countries who had
pledged their friendship to Ger

stones for US; each successive vic
tory raises us higher in strength
and power. 1t is through trial
that stout hearts are made, It is
through adversities that our pa
tience and courage are increased.
Men are frequently like tea
the real strength and goodness is
not properly drawn out of them
until they have been a short time
in hot water.
Adversity exasperates fools, de-
jects towards, draws out the facul-
ties of the wise and Industrious,
puts the modest to the necessity of
trying their skill, and makes the
idle Industrious. It is far from
being true, in the progress of
knowledge, that after every fail

that lies outside the German En-
pire. It is the same amount of
land and territory to-day as it was
in 937 A. D. Then, as now, there
were vast armies and hordes of
people who were ever trying to
fight their way in and gain the
land in the center, that is, of the
German Empire. And l have
found by studying the history of
the past, and mostly of Germany,
that it has kept the German peo-
pie and her Emperors ever on the
jump defending her boundary lines
and homes from all sides, until in
later years it was but natural for
the German race to be prepared
for war, or in the process of pre-
pairing. And l. for one, don't

the south of France and also
threatened the whole of France for
a time.
And again must bring forward
points l wish to call your attention
to; that is, that from the year 769
to 813 Charles the Great conducted
thirty-two campaigns against the
Saxons, Frisians, Bavarians, Avars,
Slavs and Danes; five against the
Lombards, in Spain, Corsica and
Sardinia; twelve against the Arabs;
two against the Greeks, and three
in Gaul itself against the Aqui-
tanians and Bretons. In all these
and others (fifty-three expeditions)

those he undertook against the

then began to cut and slash among
the German towns and cities,
which lasted until the close of 511
A. d. And during the two hun
dred and twenty-one years inter-
vening, from 511 to 1872 A. D., the
Germans prepared themselves, and

foes at the great battle of Tours,

step to success; every detection of
what is false directs US toward
what is true; every trial exhausts
some tempting form of error.
! Not only so, but scarcely any at
tempt is entirely a failure; scarcely
any theory, the result of steady
thought, is altogether false. no
tempting form of error is without
some latent charm derived from
truth. No effort founded on the
will to do and achieve can be said
to be an error.
Doubtless deeper feeling of in
dividual responsibility, and better
adaptation of talent to it's fields of
labor, are necessary to bring about
a better state of society and bet
ter condition for the individual
members of it. But with the
most careful adaptation of talent
and means to pursuits, 40 man can
succeed, as general principal,
who has not a fixed and resolute
purpose in his mind, and an un-
wavering faith that be can carry
that purpose out.
What though once supposed
friends have disclaimed and de-
serted yOu-Fortune, the jade, de-
ceived you-and the stern tyrant,

despotic power to trample you

bition of brotherly kindness; or

it's angry waves? Never despair.
Yield not to the influence of sad
ness, the blighting power of de-
lection, which sinks you in de-

oblivion; fling melancholy to the
winds, and with firm bearing and
stout heart push on to the at
tainment of a higher goal. The
open field for energetic action is
large, and the call for vigorous
laborers immensely exceed the
supply. Much precious time is
squandered, valuable labor lost,
mental activity stupifed and dead
ened by vain regrets, useless re-
pinings, and unavailing idleness.
The appeal for volunteers in the
great battle of life, in exterminat-
ing ignorance and error, and
planting high on an everlasting
foundation the banner of intelli-
gence and right, is directed to you,
would you but grant it audience.

uOGICc, DIS GulS STcdL war
IMM is on your mind and also !
~ on my own mind. You
- are thinking of Germany
and of the part she is playing in
this great war, the greatest war of
all times, and last but not least,
her Emperor.
l am not going to write or
preach on this present war, but by |
going back into history, show why |
the Germans are fighters and what |
and who started them; and then 1
will write what little I have to say |
about the Emperor.
During the year l13 B. c., the
Cimbri race of people Cor French) |
who lived to the south of the Teu-
tonic race (or Germans), got the
Teutons by fair words and prom
ises of more land and gold and
jewels, to go on a tour of conquest
into northern Italy, where they
were later defeated with great
loss; and this was the very act that
later caused nations on all sides of
them to fight against them. And
right here is where [ place the
blame of all this strife and war
at the feet of the Cimbri, who, l
find, after many years spent in
studying histories of the past, and
the reviews [ have made while in
this institution, were the direct
cause of working up the other ma
tions to warning on each other,
which has lasted throughout so
many hundreds of years.
Now, later, when the Romans
from out of Italy went north to
punish the Cimbri, the Cimbri
laid all the blame on their neigh
bors to the north, the Teutons, and
united with the Romans to drive
the Germans farther north, and
then started the wars which fol-
lowed, wherein more then one ma
tion from then on tried to wrest
land and liberty from the German
people.
About fifty years after the
French and Germans had tried to
enter Italy, the Italians, or, as
they were then called, the Romans,
made an advance on the Germans
to the north of them and drove
the Germans across the Rhein; and
1 also want to call your attention
to the fact that the Romans had as
a leader one of the most famous
generals of that time, Julius
Caesar, who was then Governor of
Gaul; and from that time on the
Romans continued to war against |
and harass the Germans, and it
was not until the year 9 A. D.,
that the Germans, by frugal living
and constant preparing in between
times, we're able to drive the Ro-
mans back to their own country
and regain their lost land and
homes. And they no more than
got settled down to peaceful ways,
when from 375 to 452 A. D., the
Huns, or Calmucks, from the
plains between China and Russia |
swooped down upon the Germans. |
And during these years we find the |
Germans fighting with all their
might to save their land and
families from one of the most
blood thirsty of wandering tribes.
Not only fighting for their lands
and families, but for their very
liberty and freedom from slavery;
and from then on there were little
wars all around and in Germany.
And again, from 481 to 51l A. d.,
France took it into her head that
she could whip Germany and force
her way into their country and
gain more liberty for herself. In
this she succeeded during the year
49e, when she dealt to the Ger
man armies crushing blow, and
