Kaiser IN Proclamation :
Says Eatherla1d Will
XIV. Fight to Bitter End
UNITED Press)

Amsterdam, Jan. 13.-The purpose
of the Entente Allies is to crush and
dismember Germany, but in 30 months
Of war they have failed utterly, ac'
cording to proclamation to the Ger
man people issued .by Kaiser Wilhelm
today. He said that his people are
ready for any sort of sacrifice to bring
forth full victory to the Teutonic Al
lies.
In his proclamation, the kaiser said:
"Our enemies, in hypocritical words
have expressed their love for peace,
but in its note to the United States,
admitted an overwhelming love for
conquest and a desire to crush and
|dismember Germany"
The proclamation continued, saying
that with cooperation of the German
people the fatherland has nothing to
fear.
The proclamation follows:
Drop Mask.
Our enemies have dropped the
mask After refusing with scorn and
hypocritical words of love, and peace
and humanity our honest peace offer.
they Have now in their reply to the
United States gone beyond that and
admitted their lust for conquest, the
baseness of which is further enhanced
by their caluminous assertions. Their
aim is the crushing of Germany, the
dismemberment of the powers allied
with US, and the enslavement Of the
freedom of Europe, and the seas, un-
der the same yolk which Greece, with
gnashing teeth is now enduring.
But what they could not achieve III
80 months of bloodiest fighting and
unscrupulous economic war, they will
also fail to accomplish in the future.
Glorious, Victories.
"Our glorious victories and our iron
strength of will, with which our fight
ing people at the front and at home
have borne all hardships and distress,
guarantee that also in the future our
beloved fatherland has nothing to fear.
Burning indignation and holy wrath
will redouble the strength OF every
German man or woman, whether it Is
devoted to fighting. to work, or to suf-
fering. We are ready for all sacrt-
fees. The. God who planted His glOr-
ious spirit OF freedom in the hearts of
the people, also will give us and our
loyal allies trusted in battle the full
victory over the enemies lust for
power and rage for destruction"
