THE KAISER'S COURAGE.
A number of German provincial newspapers of hit?h standing recently published the following, under the heading of "cool courage":-"The Emperor William has given the German nation a good example. Accompanied only by a cruiser and a torpedo destroyer, the Emperor passed coolly and quietly through the lines of the British Fleet, and accepted the homage of the Blitish warships. The Emperor, in so doing, revealed a cool courage which many Germans have lost in these days of international complications. Many Ger-
mans have asked themaeives the anxious question whether the Emperor would undertake his usual Scandinavian trip this summer, because there was a danger that the unscrupulous English would seize the opportunity to provoke war by kidnapping the defenceless Emperor while he was cruising far from Inme." This refers to the Emperor's passing visit to the British Fleet near the coast of Norway on his way northwards. It is typical of the political poison of the German Press, or that large section of it which serves the credulous portion of the German public.
