am not stranger to your city When
here as a boy, I conceived ideas similar
to those, you have just expressed. The
holy Roman empire Of the German people
fell because it was not built on a national
foundation. Its decadence was due. to
lack of patriotism sand cohension. The
German empire of today arose out Of a
strongly felt need of union and of a COM
mon head, and it reared itself upon the
basis Of love Of fatherlaId. -

dear to us. q; This I shall only be able to
do; liz we: succeed in maintaining our
prestige with our neighbors.. To this end

German race and all German individuals

ence has developed: You may be assured
I shalt always feel warm interest IN your
