Tenor of Plea.

Berlin. Jan. 11.-(By The Associated
Press. THE government has issued the
following proclamation to the German
inhabitants of territories which are be-
ing seperatrd from Germany:
"The unhappy issue of the war has
left us defcnscless to the arbitrary will
of an opponent who is imposing upon
us. in the name of peace, the heaviest
sacrifices the first of which is the renun-
citation of German territories in the east
west and north, without regard to the
principles of self determination and by
which hundreds of thousands of our Ger
man countrymen are being placed under
foreign domination.
German brothers and sisters: Not
only in the hour Of farewell. but forever,
mourning for our loss will not fill our
hearts. We VOW TO you. on behalf
of the entire German people, that we will
never forget you. You, on your part
will not forget your common German
fatherland; Of that we are sure"
