WILLIAMS PROCLAMATION.
BERLIN June IS Emperor William
has issued proclamation to the Prussiar
people, in which he says The grave has
scarcely closed over Emperor William
before my father, Frederick ILL.,, is called

kingly duties in the few months allotted
him, and exhibited noble qualities. His
victories in the battlefield will be re.
membered as long as the German heart
continues to beat. l have taken great
liking to the King of Kings, and pray
God that l, like my father, may be just
and lenient prince; to foster piety and
the fear of God; to guard peace; to pro-
mote the welfare OF man; to be helper
of the poor and distressed; to be q firm
guardian of the right, and progress in
my kingly duties in unison with the
people, who in good and in evil days
have stood true to their kings. / count
upon the peoples fidelity and am con-
scious OF my purpose to reciprocate ii
heartily as true prince to true people,
both equally ready to make sacrifice
for the Fatherland. My confidence, il
arrived from this and God, will lend me
strength and wisdom to discharge the
kingly Office for the welfare of =, the
Fatherland.
