Wilhelm II Addresses His
Throops
HAMBURG, Oct. 23--Today the Kaiser issued his
last address of encouragement to his throops. He
said, "For fifty years I and my predecessors have
faithfully endeavored to maintain peace, with the
result that Germany goes into the field with the
finest standing army in the world and a navy which
no other nation dares to face. This bloody war has
been precipitated by Luxembourg, and I am prepared
to fight until the last horse drops. Our enemies
are actuated by motives too sordid for mention. The
right is on your side. Forward with God! I will be
along later."
