 Kaiser's Address.

Very often as a young man at the side of my grandfather and later as ruler I have celebrated this memorable day, always with like inn portance, surrounded by the Knights of the Order of the Black Eagle. Now for the second time by Gods decision I celebrate it in the field on old Hls- toric ground in a beautiful piece or country conquered by Bulgarian bravery, received by a king amidst his brave troops and their illustrious leaders and honored by your majesty not only with a high order but above all with appointment as chief Of the twelfth Balkan infantry Regiment. l e"o could not better hope for.
