Note 448 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
The Emperor made similar speeches at Karlsruhe, April 28, and at St. Johann-Saar-brücken, May 14 (Schulthess, Europäischer Geschichtskalender 1904, pp. 76, 92). At Karlsruhe he declared: “I hope that peace will not be disturbed and that the events which we see occurring will have the effect of . . . . making our eyes clear, of steeling our courage, and of uniting us if it should become necessary to interfere in the Weltpolitik.”
