THE KAISER AND THE LORD.

HIS ALONE WILL BE THE HONOR."

[United Prebb (Association.] (Received 11.15 a.m.) Amsterdam, December 21. The Kaiser telegraphed to his aunt the Dowager Duchess of Baden Hindenburg: "It is announced that the Russians retired before our front after embittered battles, and were pursued over the whole line, showing that the Lord stood by our heroic troops. His alone will be the honor."

KAISER IN DESPERATION.

New York, December 21

Despatches from Germany describe the Kaiser as thin, worn, and broken in spirit.

An American correspondent at Copenhagen says the Kaiser knows the game is itp, so far as the conquest of Russia and France is concerned, and he realises that the civilised world has turned against him. The Kaiser's exasperation with England is almost equalled by his fury against America, whom he declares the British diplomats have tricked. The Kaiser recently remarked, "My diplomats are wasters and lubbers. The British knock spots off them." The Kaiser in desperation has spat at his Staff's advice, and is continually urging fleet raids to create a panic in England and cheer up the Germans. RETURNED TO THE FRONT. Amsterdam, December 21. Official: The Kaiser has recovered, and returned to the front.

"NAVAL FIGHT TO COME."

New York, December 21

The Kiel correspondent of the Trilmne, writing on November 24th, says : "The Germans place great faith in a new super-Dreadnought and a new submarine. Reservists are drilling under great pressure. Eight thousand workmen by day, and three thousand by night, are feverishly working at those vessels which can be completed within three 1 months, neglecting those which will take a year. Three thousand men at Freiderischdorf are manufacturing torpedoes by night and clay. German officers scout the idea that German ships are afraid to fight. All are certain that a great naval fight will come."
