SPEECHES OF WILLIAM
ARE BOUND
(By Associated Press.)
Merlin, 0:t. 11.—'The fourth vol-
ume of the speeches of Emperor
William, delivered during the years
I9ett to 11*12. has just appeared, its
three hundred a;id twenty-six pages
(rowded with addresses and toasts on
all kinds of subjects, sustaining his
reputation aH the greatest royal
speechmaker of the present era.
The collection contains many of the
epigrammatic utterances of moment,
uous political declarations which have
from time to time created a Ktir in
Germany and in the word, such as bis
declaration on woman's sphere and
liivlpe right, at Koenigsberg in 1910;
his proclamation of himself as optiin.
1st and believer in his fellow men;
his contemp^ for pessimists; .;3 re-
peated expression of his belief in
Divine providence and Ills warairffe
against intemperance, delivered to the
students of the academy at Cassell
Among the mos^ interesting ""and
chara. terti&tlc passages in the new
collection are the following:
"The world belongs to the living
and the living know best. I will
tolerate no pessimists; whoever is not
ready to work may drop out and, if
he wishes, hunt up a country better
suited to him."
"I am an optimist through and
through. 1 want to progress. 1
should l-e delighted if people only
understood what I am trying to do
and would give me their support. We
are bound* to consider every man
honest until lie has proved the con.
trary. This is the principle on which
I have always dealt with everyone
with whom I have to do. The results
are occasionally bad, but one mustn't
be dissuaded by that. * * * With'
a bl^ of healthy optimism and a
brighter and more conlldent view of.
life, more progress is made in one's
life and one's life-work than if every-
thing is viewed with pessimistic
eyes. The same applies to states,
manship. * ■* * What K°0d comes
of discouragement? Far better to
A\ork on with an eye to the future. 1
work on nndiseouraged, and am con-
fident that I am thereby making
progress. . * We t (monarclis)
are always in a thankless position,
since no one credits us with any in-
dependece. If I 'pull off' something
successful everyone asks: 'Who put
him up to it?' and if 1 fail the word
is: 'He ditfn't understand how to
dc it!'"
"Confidence in God gives seif.con-
fidence. ami self-confidence gives the
determination to accomplish that
which you have set as your goal."
. ..is cease our arriiy will
be the rock of bronze oil which peace
is founded. Our army is here to
maintain for us this peace and to
assure to us the position in the world
which belongs to us."

ELECTRIC FISH CLING
TO VESSEL'S SIDE
(By Associated Press)
Jloston Oct. 11—A remark-
able story is told by the crew
of the British freighter Koch-
elle, which has reached port
four days late from San Do-
mingo. According to several
of the men the delay was prin-
cially due to electric fish,
otherwise known as torpedo
fiah, which were attracted by
the steel plates of the vessel
and fastened theiiselves by
hundreds against ^ her bottom
and sides.
The steamer was in the gulf
stream, north of Cuba when
she began to slow down. The
officers were at a loss to ac-
count for the change In the
progress of the craft. Several
sailors said they felt a tingling
sensation about their feet and
finger tips.
As tilie Rochelie moved north
out of the warm waters of the
stream, the fish dropped off
and the vessel immediately re-
sumed her speed.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 13—Governor
Cruee has fulfilled his promise to re
ply to the criticism of him by Justice
Thomas Doyle of the criminal court
of appeals for the governor's expres
sion contained in a letter telling why
he could not attend the conference of
governors at Colorado Springs
rently. The governor wrote that when
he left the state the criminal court
of appeals had joined hands with the
lieutenant governor to empty j,he pen
itentiary and it would be a crime for
the governor to leave.
Justice Doyle replied in substance
that if a private citizen had used
such language he would be haled be-
fore the court for contempt.

The governor closes with this re-
mark: "You seem to hold the Idea

tracts of the player-authorg who are
members of the Giants so that it
might be assured that their engage,
mens to report 4he world's series
were entered into before September
Before the start of the series last
week the national commission laid
down the rule that no baseball player
or manager might write for the news-
papers during any future world's
series. 1^ was decided, however, that
the players who had contracts dated
ttefdfo ^^t^rtbet^27 might go ahead
with theip writing tliia year.
Half a dozen members of the
Giants wrote newspaper articles on
the series during tile play of last
week. Now the commission wants to

men of the team. It was (feclared
last Monday that those player.writers
who could not produce bonafide con-
tracts signed before the date sped,
