GLOOM OVER GERMANY.
MESSAGE FROM KAISER.
DAYS OF TRIBULATION.
FORTUNES FACE AVERTED
(Received January IS. 10.30 p.m.)
London, January 17.
The Kaiser, in a message requesting that no festivities shall be held on his birthday, January 27, says he desires all to realise the gravity of the situation and the direction in which fortune seems to have turned her face. He asks that the customary letters and telegrams shall be foregone, as they might interrupt the postal and telegraphic services, already overtaxed, and interfere with His Majesty's work at headquarters. He declares that such messages are not needed in these days of tribulation which have come upon the Fatherland. He offers thanks in advance for each supplication made to the Throne Most High.
