[Dereich]

On behalf of the Holy Roman Emperor, I would like to thank my good friend, President Tokugawa, for his invaluable assistance regarding the conflict in East Asia. We are proud to continue our partnership with the Japanese Republic as described in the Treaty of Mutual Guarantee of 1901 and maintain our full guarantee of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic. We furthermore accept the generous offer to participate in the Japanese Railway Competition and, in consideration for the tremendous gains he achieved in the Treaty of Guadalajara, will recommend the participation of the RÁBA Company who have been at the forefront of innovation in the field of petroleum-fueled rail carriages.

The Imperial Household is pleased to announce the engagement of His Majesty, Emperor Maximilian Hapsburg-Lothringen, to the eminent Princess Viktoria Wettin of Saxony.

The Imperial Household is pleased to announce the engagement of Prince Henry Hapsburg-Lothringen to Queen Emilia Bourbon-Orleans. His Highness, Prince Henry, would yield his claim to the Imperial throne in so wedding Queen Emilia. The Emperor stands ready to assist his brother and future sister-in-law in the rebuilding and rejuvenation of Mexico.

In light of the ongoing uncertainty regarding the Empire's dear friends in the Kingdom of Scandinavia, the Imperial and Royal Armed Forces are placed on high alert should mobilization become necessary. Furthermore, known foreign agents in Imperial and Royal cities believed to have committed acts of lese majeste or active efforts to shake the unity of the Emperor and his subjects are placed under house arrest until the current crisis has past. Letters, decrees, and pronouncements from foreign agents to those within the Habsburg Domains are to be reviewed and withheld if suspected of decreasing Imperial and Royal cohesion. Members of the clergy, due to previous hostility, are not exempt from this order.
