VICTORY BURE TO «
COME, ASSERTS KAISER
BERLIN,—Emperor William has
issued a proclamation to the German
army and navy and German colonial
forces. It read:
“The third year of the war has
come to an end. The number of our
adversaries has Increased but their
prospects of victory have not improv
ed. You crushed Roumania last year.
The Russian empire once more trem
bles under your strokes. Both coun
tries sacrificed themselves for the in
terests ototliers and are now bleed
ing to death. In Macedonia you forci
bly withstood the enemy's assaults.
In mighty battles on the western
front you remain the master of the
situation. Your lines are firm, pro
tecting your beloved homes against
the terrors and devastations of war.
“The navy has achieved good re
sults. it has threatened the enemy's
command of the sea and his very ex-1
istence. Ear from home a little Ger
man group is defending a German
colony against forces many times su
perior.
"Victory in the coming year will
again be on our side and on that of
our allies. Ours will be the final vic
tory.
“With a deeply moved heart I
thank you in my own name and that
of the fatherland for what you have
achieved in this last year of the war.
With veneration we remember the
dead who gave up their lives for the
greatness and safety of the father
land. “The war goes on. It is still
being forced upon us. We shall fight
for our existence in the future with
firm resolution and unfailing cour
age. As our problems multiply so
does our strength increase. We are
invincible. We shall be victorious.
The Lord God will be with us.’’
