Lewis brought Smith home with a

Kaiser Says Germany

Jealous Enemies

BERLIN, Aug. 7--via London. 1:15 .. m.
"A proclamation by Emperor William,
addressed to the German nation, was
published in the Official Gazette today.
The text as follows:
''Slnce the foundation of the German
empire 1t has been for forty-three years
the object of the efforts of myself and
my ancestors to preserve the peace of
the world and to advance by peaceful
means our vigorous development.
''Our adversaries. however, are Jealous
of the successes of our work and there
has been latent hostility TO the east and
to- the west and beyond the sea.
This has been borne by us till now, as
I'VE were aware OF our responsibility and
tour power. ~ Wn ~ t"rsi-- -.3e
Now, however, these adversaries wish
20 humiliate US, asking that we should
look on with folded arms and watch our
coming attack. {.
''rhey will not suffer that we maintain
our resolute fidelity to our ally, who is
fighting for its position as a great power
and with whose humiliation our power
and honor would be equally lost.
80 the sword must decide.
In the midst of perfect peace the
enemy surprises us. Therefore. to arms!
ANY dallying and temporizing would
be to betray the fatherland.
ITO be or not to be is the question for
the empire which our fathers founded.
To be or not to be is the question for
German power and German existence
I'VE shall resist to the, last breath of
man and horse, and We shall fight out
the struggle even against a world of
enemies
Never has Germany been subdued
when we were united.
