ENGLAND MUST BE BEATEN

KAISER,TELLS TROOPS WHO , : ARCH E.NEMY IS. England, the arch enemy of Germany, must be beaten down at whatever cost, Emperor William told his troops while on a visit to the -Flanders front recently, according to a despatch from Copenhagen. An official statement issued in Berlin says that' 1 the Emperor addressed deputations from all detachments which have liad a share in meeting the British attacks. He said he £elt impelled • to express his thanks and his I full recognition of the heroic gallantry shown by troops from all parts -of Germany in. the hard fighting of the last, week. ■"..•' _ •■■■■■'. The Emperor referred to. the marked contrast between the German and AngloFrench points of view and continued : "It's in God's hands when in His wisdom he will give us victory. Ho has taught our army a hard lesson, and now we are going to pass the -examination. With the old German confidence' in God we shall show what we can do. v The greater and mightier the problem, the more gladly we shall grapple, with it and solve it. Wo shall fight and conquer until the enemy has had enough of these struggles. j

"All Germans have realised who' is the instigator of this war and who is the chief enemy—'England. Everyone knows 'England is our most spiteful adversary. She spreads the. hatred of Germany over the whole world, filling her Allies with hatred a.nd eagerness to fight. Thus everyone- a,t home knows what you know still better, that; England is particularly the army to be struck down', however difficult it may be; your relatives at home who, too, have made great sacrifices, thank you through me. : . .'■'..'■ "'

''A difficult struggle lies ahead' of us. England, proud of her stubborn resistance, believes in her invincibility, but you will show that- you ' can ;achieve still greater filings, for the prize of the war is the German, people's freedom to live—freedom at sea and freedom at'home. With God's help we shall see the struggle through and be victorious." -
