IMPERIAL HOMILIES.

KAISER'S SIXTH LETTER. (Received 3, 2.5-5 p.m.) London, Jan. 1. “Chauvinistic Republican France and intriguing and ridiculous England’’ afford subjects for the Imperial homily in to-day’s series of the Kaiser’s letters. The sixth letter, dated September, 1895, referring to the Far East and urgent necessity for uniting to resist Buddhism, heathenism and barbarism for the defence of the Cross, adds “united resistance of all European Powers is equally necessary against our common and internal foes, anarchism, republicanism and nihilism-” The Kaiser proceeds to refer to reforms in the French army, involving a proposal to form “a new Continental army on my western frontier. The project has fallen like a thunderbolt and created deep impression in Germany, particularly as the French papers are telling us their army meant to rush to our borderland in a revanche war.”
