In your last letter you said it had

some of it here today. 1t has been
cold for two days, but as a rule the
weather is warm in the day time and
cold at night, and we need all the

We are drilling and working al

2 TO the German people, Emperor
William says:
-Four years of had struggle have
Iassed, full of eternally memorable
deeds. An example has been given
for all time of what a people can do
that stands in the field for most
lust cause and for the maintenance
of its existence.
Gratefully reverlng the divine
hand which has been gratefully ex-
tended over Germany, we may
proudly say we were not found un-
worthy of the tremendous task be-
fore which Providence place us.
"If in the struggle our nation was
given leaders capable of the highest
achievements It has daily proved by
fidelity that it has deserved to have
ouch Leaders. How could the army
front have performed its tremen-
dous deeds II the entire labor at
nome had not been carried to the
highest measure Of person perform
ancd? Thanks are due to all who,
under difficult conditions, have CO.
operated in the task set the state
and community and especially to
our faithful unwearying officials.
Thanks are due likewise to our
corntrymen and townwsmen and al
70 the women on whom in this war
time, so much falls.
1.-THE war year which is opening
today will not spare the German
people further privations and trials.
But, whatever may come. we know
that the hardest lies behind us.
what has been attained in the
cast by our arms and safeguarded
by peace treaties-what is being
completed in the west-that gives
us the firm certainty that Germany
will issue strong and vigorous from
this storm of the peoples which has
felled to the ground so many a
mighty race.
ION this day of remembrances we
recall with pain all sacrifices which
had to be made for the fatherland.
wide gaps have been torn in our
families, and the suffering of this
terrible war has spared no German
home. Those who, as boys in their
first enthusiasm, saw the first
troops depart, stand themselves to-
day beside their fathers and their
lrothers as warriors at The front.
Sacred duty commands that
everything be done that this preci-
GUS blood does not flow in vain.
Nothing has been neglected by us
TO restore peace to the devastated
world. The voice OF humity, how
ever, still finds no hearing in the
enemy's camp. AS often as we have
spoken words of reconciliation we
have been met with contempt and
hatred. The enemy does not yet
want peace. Without shame, they
smirch the fair name of Germany
with ever-fresh calumnies. Again
ane again their mouthpieces declare
that Germany must be annihilated.
I'VE must, therefore, continue to
tight and to labor unit our enemies
are ready to acknowledge our right
to existence, Just as we have victori-
ously fought for and gained it
against their overwhelming on
flaught.
God is with us.
