SALT OF THE EARTH
BOASTFUL KAISER. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Berlin, March 23.
At a banquet at Bremen in connection with the unveiling of a monument to the Emperor Frederick, the Kaiser made a remarkable speech. He declared that hB was resolved, as far as ho personally was concerned, that bayonets and guns should remain idle, but always sharp and in a fit condition to prevent outsiders disturbing Germans. Personally he did not aspire to be a barren Sovereign, and wpuld avoid this by conquest only. The world sovereignty that the Hohenzollerns desired was founded on mutual confidence of the nations striving for the same goals. He declared that every new German battleship was another pledge of peace. He described the Germans as “ the salt of the earth.”
