Support Government
CONTINUED from Page One)

I'VE must begin working for the
happier times to which the German
nation has right. The new govern
work Equal suffrage is assured in
Prussia. The new government is
made up of representative Of the
majority parties in the Reichstag.
The military administration has
been placed under the responsibility
Of the imperial chancellor, far
reaching amnesty has been granted
and freedom Of the press and right
of assembly has been guaranteed.
There still remains, however. much
to do.
The transformation Of Germany
into a peoples state second to no 9TH
err country in respect of political
freedom and care for the welfare of
the masses will be continued res
olutely The reorganization can only
exercise it's beneficial effects if it en-
counters among administrative and
military authorities spirit which
recognizes and promotes it's aims. We
expect from our countrymen, who
serve the commonwealth in official
positions, willing cooperation.
"In all parts of the state and en-
pire we need the maintenance Of
public safety by the nation itself. We
have confidence in the German peo
pie. 1t has proved its brilliant
qualities during four terrible years
Of war and will not allow itself to
be driven senselessly and ,uselessly
into new misery by Missionaries. Self
discvlipline and ordeer are needed.
All lack Of discipline will most ser
iously endanger the conclusion of a
speedy peace.
THE government and the COM
manders Of the army and fleet want
peace They want it honestly and
they want it soon. Until then we
must protect our frontiers against
invasion by the enemy. The troops
who for weeks have been engaged in
severe fighting must be relieved and
rested. 1t is for this reason and no
other that more men recently have
been called up.
Men of the army and fleet! Es-
pecial thanks are due to you as well
as to your leaders. BY your defiance
of death and your discipline you
have saved the fatherland.
"One of our most important tasks
is economic reconstruction SO that
soldiers and sailors returning home
from the front may find the possibil-
ity of assuring existance for them
selves and their families. All large
! associations of employers have de-
clared themselves ready to re-employ
Immediately their former employees
and workmen now serving with the
