resignation Imperial Chancellor he issued appeal ITO
Germans Abroad" in which he said
In these difficult days the hearts of many among you
my fellow countrymen who outside the frontier of the Ger
man faherand surrounded by manifestations of
malicious joy and hatred will be heavy not despair of
the German people.
Our soldiers have fought the as herocaly
any army has DONE The homeland has shown un-
precedented strength in suffering and endurance.
In the fifth year, abandoned by its allies, the German
people could longer wage against the increasingly
superior forces.
The victory for which many had hoped has not been
granted to But the German people has this still
greater victory itself and its belief in the right
might
From this victory we shall draw new strength for the
hard time which faces and which you build
Urges Nation Be Calm Under Defeat.
In earlier appeal to the German people, which he
urged that all remain calm, Prince Max said
For than four years the German nation united
and cam has endured the most suferings and
sacrifices If at this decisive hour when only absolute
unity avert from the entire German people great dan
gers for its future internal strength gives way then the
consequences unforeseeabe
An indispensable demand in these decisive hours which
must be made by peoples government is the main
of the hitherto existing cam under voluntary dis
cpline May citizen be conscious of the high RESPONSE
bily toward this people in the fulment of their duty
