LQen SAID
L thank the representatives of the capi-
tai for the eloquent words with which they
have greeted me on my return home. I,
too remember 1866, and the day when /
had the pleasure of seeing yOn assembled
around me for similar purpose. The
campaign Of 1896 was important for Pr1s-
sia and Germany, inasmuch as it laid the
foundation of the unity of the fatherland.
The present war, upon which we entered
hopefully it is true, bat without anticipa-
ting its eventual results, has crowned the
work. Equally unprecedented as its course
is its reward. Germany is united The
Emperor ard the empire are once more
realities. The security and power of
fatherland have been firmly, and, with
Gods help, permanently established. You
have thanked the Third Army for its share
in the war, and with sincere qualification
[ accept your appreciation in the name of
my gallant companions In arms. The Third
Army, as well as the entire people, thought
it good omen when we were enabled to
strike the first decisive blow in a stIug-
gle the prize Of which we foresaw might
be German unity. From The very
outset of this saDguinary comba.
North and South were united in the
army under my command. With double
satisfaction therefore look back upon the
days of Weissenburg anG Woerth, which
first made tangible reaItty of this great
national desideratum. Our successes could
not be obtained without the most melan-
choly sacrifices. We shall faithfully re-
member those who have fallen to preserve
to us all that we must dearly prize. Those
who have been disabled may be sure of
our actiue sOlicitude, which I hope to be
able to manifest on my part, as [ did in
1864 and 1866. With you [ trust Provi-
dence will permit us, safe from foreign
enemies Gnd strong in domestic concord,
to reap the fruits grown in this eventful
period. May all the blessings of peace be
reserved to fatherIaDd May all the re-
sources of civic and political prosperity
flow more abundantly than ever. And
may our capital derive fresh happiness
and wealth from the new life infused by
the issue of the war. The people and
army will never forget the patriotic be
| havlor of Berlin daring this serious etrug
| gle. Let me once more thank you for the
prompt generosity with which the towr
and its representatives have seconded oul
| efforts during the war.-LOndon IInzeS
