KAISER'S NEW YEAR ADDRESS
Looks Toward Additional Victories
for Fatherland in 1915.

Berlin, Jan. New deeds and new
victories for the beloved Fatherland
in 1915 are called for in the New
Years Day address issued by the Emf
peror to the German people.
The complete text, as made pub
lie, is as follows:
"After five long months Of heavy
and hot fighting we enter the new
year.
Brilliant victories have been gain
ed and great successes achieved.
"The German army almost every
where is on the enemy's territory.
1.-The repeated attempts of the enc
my to swarm German territory with
their legions have everywhere failed
"My ships have covered themselve
with glory on every sea. The crew.
have proven not only that they knew
how to fight, but how to die lik
heroes when overwhelmed by sup
Tor forces.
Behind the army and the navy
stands the entire German people in
unexampled harmony prepared t.
sacrifice it's hearts blood for the
sacred domestic hearth which we are
defending against an outrageous in
vasion. Much has come to pass in the
old year, but our enemies are still
firmly kept low. There are always
fresh hordes rolling up against ouI
army and the armies Of our faith
fu allies.
"But tho numbers have not fright
toned us. Although times may BIZ
serious and the task before us he @
heavy one, we look forward into the
future with the firmest confidence.
Next to Gods wise guidance ! trus'
to the marvellous bravery of oul
army and navy and know myself to
he one with the entire. German ma.
"Thereforc, let us face the nev
year unhinchingly looking forward
to new deeds and new victories for
the beloved Fatherland "
