THE KAISER IN ENGLAND.

Protest by Unemployed. London, November 14. Replying to the Corporation’s address’ the Kaiser said be noticed during the procession the motto “Blood is thicker than water.” He applauded the sentiment and hoped it would ever be so between Britain and Germany. Replying to the Lord Mayor’s ton: i ot “ Our Guests.” the Kaiser gracefully referred to his being a citizen ot London of 16 years’ standing. He expressed satisfaction at the visits interchanged between English and German journalists and civil dignitaries. He hoped history would acknowledge that he had unswervingly pursued peace. The main prop and base for the peace of the world was a good relationship between England and Germany. He strengthened them as far as laj r in his power.

Returning to Windsor the Kaiser and Kaiserin declared they were delighted at the ceremony and profoundly touched by the cordiality of their popular reception. After the Royal procession, including the Kaiser, had left tha Guildhall a number of unemployed attempted to march through the city. The police dispersed them after arresting five. A telegram was thereupon sent to the Lord Mayor protesting against lavish entertainment of a despotic reactionary Kaiser, vvhen twelve millions of Britishers were on the verge Ot starvation, and insisting upon the Government’s duty to provide work for all unemployed.

The Kaiser decorated the Tord Mayor, and many others.
