"PROM AN ELECTORAL HAT TO AN IMPERIAL CROWN"
THE RISE OF WILLIAM RECITED BY WILLIAM. By Telezr&Dh—Press Association—Copyrieht ' London, October 31. Advices from .Berlin report that the 'Kaiser, in reply to tho Prus6ian .Cabinet's congratulatory telegram on the fivo hundredth anniversary of the Hohenzollern reign in Brandenburg, said: "By God's guidance, our history in the past half-millennium has been wonderful. Across depths and .heights my House has been raised from an Electoral hat to an Imperial crown, from a email Mark of Brandenburg to the centro of all Empire whose strength has been so brilliantly proved towards friend and foe in the present war of nations—tho greatest of all time 6. With full humility, I acknowledge, with the German people, that thus far the Lord has helped us. May He continue to assist and' guide a people who, with its princes ana freo towns, hold together united and imperturbable, ready for all sacrifices through the dark days of severe affliction to the bright sunlight of peace, to new vigorous work, to the road deßtined by Divine providence."
