when the great war came," the
Emperor said, "envious enemies sud
denly attacked the Fatherland. The
army. by desperate fighting against su-
perior foes, slowly conquered them one
after another. But the feet waited in
vain for a real fight. In numerous in
dividual encounters the navy clearly
demonstrated its heroic spirit. but was
forced to wait month after month for
a general battle.
Repeated efforts were made to
bring the enemy out, but they proved
fruitless until the day finally came last
week when the gigantic feet of
Albion, ruler of the seas since Trafal-
gar was fought 100 years ago, appeared
in the open surrounded with nimbus.
Instantly our fleet engaged this su-
perior British armada, and with what
result? The English feet was beaten.
The first big blow was dealt the Eng
lish feet, whose tyrannical supremacy
was shattered.
"The news electrified the world and
caused unprecedented jubilatlon every
where that German hearts beat. Your
success in the North Sea fight means
that you have added new chapter to
the history OF the world. God Almighty
steeled your arms and gave you clear
eyes TO accomplish this.
81, standing here today as your su.
preme war lord, thank you from the
bottom Of my heart. AS the represen-
tatiye Of the Fatherland | thank you
and in the name of my army bring
you its greetings because you have
done your duty unselhshly and only
with the one thought that the enemy
must be beaten.

when our allies have driven the
Italians from mountain to mountain
you add new glorles to our cause. The
world was prepared for everything, but
not for the victory Of the German fleet
over the English The start which
you have made will cause fear to creep
into the bones of the enemy. What
you have done you did for the Father
land, that in the future It may have
freedom Of the seas for its commerce
Therefore ask you to join me in three
cheers for our dearly beloved Father
land"

his staff, who were proceeding to Rus

we're lost off the Orkney Islands was
the most stunning blow Great Britain
has received since the war began.

Sofia; Col. o. A. Fitzgerald, private

officers and men aboard the Hamp-
shire numbered between 400 and 500.
The casualties probably will total 500.
On Way To See Gar.
The War Minister and his staff were
proceeding to Russia at the special in.
vitatlon Of the Czar Of Russia on
special mission to discuss important
questions connected with the military
and financial conduct Of the war.
II is understood on high authority
that Earl Kitchener's visit to Russia
was kept profoundly secret. II was
practically impossible for the Germans
to have learned either that he was
going or on what route the ship was
travelling.
That the Hampshire was torpedoed
by German design therefore is general
ly discounted. It is believed in the
highest circles that the ship either
struck a mine or was torpedoed In a
chance encounter with German sub.
marine.
England Shocked.
This is the second shock the country
has sustained within a week. The
other was when the newspaper ap-
peared Friday evening with the first
intelligence of the naval battle In the
North Sea in the form Of list of the
ships lost, with virtually no intimation
that there was any compensation in
the way of enemy losses.
The bulletin telling of the death of
Kitchener gave the country even a
greater shock.
