GERMAN ARMY MANOEUVRES.
SPEECH BY THE KAISER
Received September 14, 9.35 p.m. BERLIN, September 14. Twelve thousand men with 54 0 guns are attending the Mergentheim manoeuvres. Airships were utilised to report the position of the enemy, and the effect of the artillery fire direct to the general in the rear. Many church towers were used as receiving stations by the cavalry, which carried a portable wireless installation. The Kaiser, reviewing the Army Corps at Karlsruhe, said: —"We Germans are glad to bear arms; therefore we carried the burden of defence lightly and willingly. Our ' army is a rock of bronze whereon ' peace is based. So long as the huI man race endures there will be enemies envious of each other. . Therefore there is always a pros- ' pect of war. and we must be ready I for all emergencies."
