Berlin, Aug. ! (via Copenhagen y
Emperor William has issued a proc
lamation to the crcrman army and
navy and German colonial forces. Ii
reads:
ITO the German People:
Three years OF hard fighting are
behind us. With grief we remember
our dead, with pride our soldiers now
fighting, with confidence all our
workers and with heavy heart those
who are languishing in captivity, but
above all our thoughts stand resolute
in the determination to prosecute this
righteous war of defense to a success
ful termination.
THE enemy is stretching out his
hands toward German territory. but
he shall never have it. New nations
continue to enter into the war against
US but that does not frighten us We
know our strength and we are deter
mined to make use of it. They wish
to see us weak and powerless at their
feet, but they shall not prevail.
'They received disdainfully our
words of peace: they did not know
how Germany could fight. Through.
out the world they have slandered the
German name, but they cannot extin-
guish the glory of German deeds.
Thus we stand erect at the close
of this year, unmovable, victorious
and intrepid 91r trials may stin
await us but we shall meet them with
a grave mien and full of faith.
Throughout the three years achieve.
ment the mighty German people has
come firm in its resistance against all
that the power of the enemy can CON
ceive. If the enemy wishes to prolong
the sufferings of war they will weigh
more heavily upon him than upon us.
THE third year of the war has
come to an end. The number of our
adversaries has increased but their
prospects of victory have not inn
proved. You crushed Rumania last
year. The Russian empire once more
trembles under your strokes. Both
countries sacrificed themselves for
the interests Of others and are now
bleeding to death. In Macedonia you
forcibly withstood the enemy's as.
saults. In mighty battles on the
western front YOU remain the masters
of the situation. Your lines are firm.
protecting your beloved homes against
the terrors and devastations of war.
"The navy has achieved good re.
suits. 1t has threatened the enemy's
command of the sea and his very ex.
istence. Far from home a little Ger.
man group is defending German
colony against forces many times su.
perior.
Victory in the coming year will
again be on our side and on that OF
our allies. Ours will be the final vic.
tory.
With deeply moved heart
thank you in my own name and in
that of the fatherland for what you
have achieved in this last year of the
war With veneration we remember
the fallen who gave up their lives for
the greatness and safety of the faith.
erland.
THE war goes on. 1t is still being
forced upon us, We shall fight for
our existence in the future with firm
resolution and unfailing courage. As
our problems multiply SO does our
strength increase. We are nyincible.
We shall be victorious. The Lord God
Will be with us.
WILLIAM, l. r.
