The meeting -was ; attended by 1000 school children, who j formed a guard tor the troops and threw j \ flowers. General von der Goftz delivered a dia- | tribe against the Allies' blockade, and : | eulogised the old militarist rule. The ex-Kaiser telegraphed the follow. ! ins message to the meeting : "With proud i and warm gratitude I think to-day of my I i brave comrades who were never van- i j auished in the field. With true German ! loyalty they achieved against a world of i : enemies deeds such as history had never | known. Their heroism lives on unfor- j j gotten. To the honourable memory of ! the dead and for the imitation of the j ; living and future generations, may thehalo of areat dave of the Dast be a beacon I for the victorious illumination of the j still dark future. God protect the .' Fatherland and its people."
