the German forces on land and sea: Com
rades, the End. year of the world war has
elapsed. Like first year it was for the German
aims, a year of glory. On all fronts you
Inflicted blows on the enemy. Whether The
onAOoU Votraoto6 LOrOa down Nv tbo fo,oo ,G
your attacks or whether reinforced by foreign
assistance, collected and pressed into SER
vice from all parts of the world, he tried to
rob you of the fruits of former victories, yJu
always proved yourselves superior TO
him. Even where England's tyranny was
uncontested, namely on the free waves Of
the sea, you VIGOROUSLY fought against
gigantic superiority. Your Kaiser's appre-
C alton and your countries proud admi-
ration are assured to you for those deeds for
your mistaken loyalty, for your bold defence
and your tenacious bravery. Like the
memory Of your dead heroes, your fame will
endure to all time. The Iaurels which our
forces have won against the enemies are iu-
separately linked with the devoted and uniir-
ing labour at home. This strength chat
home has sent is an ever fresh inspiration TO
the armies in the field. It has continually
quickened our swords, has kindled CIR
many's enthusiasm and has terrified the cue
my. My gratitude and that of the Father
land a e due to the nation at home. But
the strength and will o the enemy are not
yet broken, we must continue the sewers
struggle in order to secure the safety of our
beloved homeland, to preserve the honour of
the Fatherland, the greatness of tie Empire.
Whether the enemy wages war with The
forces Of arms or with cold calculating malice
we shall continue as before in the third year
OF the war the spirit of duty to the Father
land and an uubending will to victory per-
wade our homes and fighting forces today as
at the beginning of the war. I ara convinc-
ed that your deeds will equal those of the
past ana present. Main headquarters.
