BEAT DOWN ENGLAND,
kA|SER'SCRY TO TROOPS
German Ruler Addresses the Men
Who Have Been Meet
ing British.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, August 24.-England.
the arch enemy of Germany, must be
beaten down at whatever cost, Emperor
William told his troops while on a visit
to the Flanders front on Wednesday.
An Official statement issued in Berlin
says the emperor addressed deputations
from all detachments which have had
share in meeting the British attacks.
He said he felt impelled to express his
thanks and his full recognition Of the
heroic gallantry shown by troops from
all parts of Germany in the hard fight
ing OF the last week. The emperor
referred to the marked contrast be-
tween the German and Anglo-French
points of view, and continued:
TT is In Gods hands when in His
wisdom He will give US victory He
has taught our army a hard lesson and
now we are going to pass the examina-
tfon. With the old German confidence
in God we shall show what we can do
The greater and mightier the prob
lem the more gladly we shall grapple
with it and solve it. We shall fight
and conquer until the enemy has had
enough of these struggles.
'All Germans have realized who is
the instigator of this war and who is
the chief enemy-England. Every one
knows England is our most spiteful ad-
versary. She spreads the hatred of
Germany over the whole world, filling
her allies with hatred and eagnerness
to fight. Thus every one at home
knows what you know still better, that
England is particularly the enemy to be
struck down, however difficult it may
be. Your relatives at home who, too,
have made great sacrifices thank you
through me.
"A difficult struggle lies ahead of us.
England, proud of her stubborn re-
sistance. believes in her invincibility,
but you will show that you can attain
still greater things, for the prize of the
war is the German peoples freedom to
live-freedom at sea and freedom at
home. With Gods help we shall see
the struggle through and be victorious"
