GERMANY STILL
INVTNCTBLE
At the Beginning of the Third Year Of
the Great War, Says Emperor vii.
liam. in Message to German Forces
on Land and Sea.

Amsterdam, Aug. 22.-Empcroi
William, according to telegram re-
celved here from Berlin, has issuet
the following proclamation to the Ger
man forces on land and sea:
Comrades: The second year of the
world war has elapsed. Like the first
year, it was for Germanys arms 4
year of glory. ON all fronts you in
fiicted many and heavy blows upon
the enemy. Whether the enemy re-
treated, borne down by the weight OF
your attacks, or whether reinforced
by foreign assistance collected and
pressed into service from all parts of
the world, he tried to rob you Of the
fruits of former victories, You always
proved yourselves superior to him.
Even when England's tyranny was
uncGntested, namely, on the free
waves of the sea, you yictoriouSly
fought against gigantic superiority.
Your kaiser's appreciation and your
grateful country'S proud admiration
are assured to you for these deeds for
your mistaken loyalty, for your bold
daring and for your tenacious bravery,
Like the memory Of our dead he
rocs your fame also will endure
through all time. The laurels which
our evcr-conhdent forces have won
against the enemy in spite Of trials
and dangers are inScparably linked
with the devoted and un,iring labor at
home.
This strength at home has sent
an ever fresh inspiration to the armies
in the field. 1t has continually quick
ened our swords, has kindlcd Gcrina'
ny's enthusiasm and has t. rrified the
enemy. My gratitude AMI tina. of the
fatherland are due the nation at home.
But the strength and will Of the
enemy are not yet broken. We must
continue the severe struggle in order
a. secure the safety Of our beloved
homeland, to pres srve tht honor OF me
Fatherland and the greatness of The
empire.
whether the enemy wages war
with the force of arms in cold calcu'
lated calm. we will continue in the
third year Of the war to rcpulse TINS
attack on the fatherland, and will con-
tinue to present an unbending will I'M.
til victory permeates our homes ana
our fighting forces today as III the
first DAYS Of the war. WITH Gods gra'
cious help am convinced that your
future deeds will equal those OF the
past and present.

tor Walsh, democrat, declared that for
