The Kaiser has unveiled a statue to Von Moltke at Berlin. At a banquet in the evening he gave a eilent toast to the past, then toasting the present and future said: “ You have seen how we stand in the world; then keep your powder dry, sword keen, your eyes on tho goal, musoles taut, aud away with pessimists. I empty my glass to our people in arms, the German army and general staff.” Received 4.15 p.m., Oot. 29. Paris, Oct. 28, The condition of Russia and the Kaiser’s speech has depressed the Paris Bourse. M. Ciemenceau, in the newspaper Angore, declares that the Kaiser’s menaces are addressed to Great) Britain, not to France.

London, Oot. 28. Reuter’s Berlin correspondent reports that the Kaiser’s speech is interpreted to mean that he considers an inorease of the army and navy, in view of recent events, as imperatively necessary, and desires to strongly support the Government in its coming demands to the Reichßtag for an increase for both. In an earlier speech at his Saxon Grenadier Regiment’s luncheon, given in his honor at Dresden, the' Kaiser roma-ked: “We live in a time wherein every young German oapable of bearing arms must be ready to step forward for the Fatherland.”
