Prince Bulow emphasised the desirableness of the union between the Throne and the people. The life of the Sovereigns and their family was a model to the nation, said Prince Bulow.
Prince Albert Brunswick spoke on behalf of the Army and Navy. The Kaiser, iu replying, said: "My first and last thought is for my fighting forces on land and on sea. The Empire's constant endeavour is to work for the alleviation of want and sickness. May f God grant that war will not come,' but if it should come, lam firmly cunvinced that the Army will acquit itself as it did in 1870."
