Munich, Jan. Emperor William,
replying to a New Years telegram from
the King and Queen o. Bavaria, sent
t following message:
"I reciprocate your good wishes and
those of all Bavarians with all my
heart. You speak after my own heart
when you say we all have out one
thought, which is that peace worthy
of the sacrifices already made and still
to be made be secured for the beloved
Fatherland in the new year.
"How splendid in this connection IS
it that the German princes and the
German peoples are St ding together
in Interchangeable fidelity, with Gods
help. TO achieve with our heroic troops
that victory for our just cause which
we expect with unshaken confidence.
In cordial friendship, WILHELM"
Berlin, Jan. Emperor William, ln
a New Years message to the army and
navy, asks them TO face the new year
uniinchingly and TO look forward 70
new deeds and new victories for the
beloved Fatherland. The message,
which was made public at main head
quarters here, is as follows:
after five long months of heavy and
hot fighting we enter the new year.
Brilliant victories have beer gained and
great successes achieved by the Ger
man army almost everywhere on the
territory of the enemy, while repeated
attempts Of our opponents to swarm on
German territory have failed.
my ships have covered themselves
with glory on every sea, and the crews
have proved not only that they know
how to fight victoriously but to die like
heroes when overwhelmed by superior
forces.
Behind the army and the feet the
entire nation stands in unexampled
harmony, prepared to sacrifice its
hearts blood for the sacred domestic
hearth which we are defer3i against
outrageous invasion. Much has come
to pass in the old year, but the enc
mics are still firmly kept low. Always
fresh hordes are rolling up against our
army and the army Of our faithful al
lies, but their numbers do not frighten
US. Although the times may be seri-
Gus and the 4sk before US heavy one,
we look forward into the future with
the frmest confidence.
Next TO Gods wise guidance / trust
TO the matchless bravery OF the army
and navy nd know myself 20 be as one
with the entire German nation. There
fore. let US face the new year uI.-
Ainchingly, looking forward to new
deeds and new victories for our beloved
Fatherland. WILHELM
