KAISER'S PROCLAMATION TO TROOPS
KAISER'S PROCLAMATION

Berlin, Oct. 6-via Rasle-Emperor
William today issued a proclamation
TO the German army and navy in
which after announcing that the Ma
cedonian front had crumbIed, he de-
clared that he had decided, in accord
with his allies, again to offer peace
to the enemy.
The proclamation follows: For
months past the enemy with enor-
nous exertions and almost without
pause in the fighting has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of the
struggle, often without repose, you
have had to persevere and resist a
numerically far superior enemy
Therein lies the greatness Of the task
which has been set for you and which
you are fulfilling. Troops of all the
German states are doing their part
and are heroically defending the
fatherland on foreign soil, hard is the
task.
MY navy is holding it's own against
the united enemy naval forces and is
unwaveringly supporting the army in
its difficult struggle.
The eyes of those at home rest
with pride and admiration on the
deeds of the army 49, navy. | eX-
press to you thanks of myself and the
Fatherland. The collapse of the Ma
cedonian front has occurred in the
midst Of the hardest struggle. In ac-
cord with our allies l have resolved
once more to offer peace to the
enemy, but I will only extend my
hand for an honorable peace, We
owe that to the heroes who have laid
down their lives for the fatherland
and we make that our duty to our
children.
whether arms will be lowered
still is a question. Until then we
must not slacken. We must. as
hitherto exert all our strength I'M
YEARLY to hold our ground against
the onslaught of our enemies.
THE hour is grave, but, trNsttng in
your strength and in Gods gracious
help. we feel ourselves to be strong
enough to defend our beloved Father
land.

No one in Washington even so
much as gives thought to any pro-

Great Britain, France, Italy and the
United States should halt in any
armistice while a discussion" is
conducted. There might be an ar
mistice oc the same nature as was

unconditional surrender.
When Austria proposed a peace
negotiation, the official view Us
summed up this way: Austria is

hardest, not the time to talk peace.
There is nothing to indicate that the
view has been changed. No one l.ere
