"THE HARDEST PART

So Said the Kaiser on the Eve Of
the Counter Offensive of
the Allies.

THE HAGUE, July 27.-"The hard

summoning all his strength for a
final defense and counter offensive"
This was the observation of the
German Emperor, recorded by Kari
kosner in the Berlin Lokal-AnZeig-r
and apparently made on the evening
OF Gen. F'och's offensive. On th
same occasion Field Marshal ven
Hindenburg gave Rosner the follow
ing statement:
1T Is to be hoped the people 81
home are fun OF confidence, but they
are not learned in patience. | hops
nothing is so promptly punished. az
over-haste is no good.
Preparation is half the battle, and
the people must remember We are
not working with machines that can

pleted. We are working with the
most sacred thing we possess. namely,
blood and life of the German people.
our last reserves must be strong
men who will return from the
trenches to take up peace tasks. We
must not be left at the end like
smashed machines, but must be
strong and unweakencd."
