precariOus condition Of things where all
nations are forced to employ their resources
in arming against each other.
The glorious flag Of France, which we
once more unfurl in the face of our chal-
lengers, is the same which has borne over
Europe the civilizing ideas of our great
revolution. It represents the same prin-
ciples-it will inspire the same devotion.
Frenchmen, 1 go to place myself at the
head of the valiant army which is animated
by the love of country and q devotion to
duty. That army knows its worth more,
it has seen victory follow its footsteps in
the four quarters Of the globe. l take with
me my son. Despite his tender years he
knows the duties his name imposes upon
him, and he is proud to bear his part in the
dangers of those who fight for your country.
May God bless our efforts; q great people
defending just cause is invincible.
