GERMANY CELEBRATES KAISER'S BIRTHDAY.
ALL HIGHEST BOASTS AS USUAL.
FRIENDSHIP BOUND BY BLOOD AND IRON. Australian and ty.Z. Cable Association. (Received January 29, 9.15 a.m.) AMSTERDAM, January 28. The German papers are featuring the Kaiser's birthday (which took place yesterday). They emphasise that Germany will follow the Kaiser through thick and thin, until the end of the Avar. The Kaiser received addresses from all parts of the Empire. Replying to that of the Berlin Academy of Science, the Kaiser said that he knew that Germany was ready to sacrifice her blood and treasure to secure a German victory, which was only obtainable by the might of the German sword. The Kaiser pardoned a large number of convicted sailors, soldiers, and civilians. He spent his birthday at headquarters on the Eastern front, with the Kaiserin, the Emperor Karl, Dr von Bethmann Hollweg, Ilerr Zimmerman, and Marshal von Ilindenburg. At luncheon, the Emperor Karl, toasting the Kaiser, declared that the successes of their allied arms had inspired him with confidence regarding future operations. The Kaiser, responding, said:—"Austria and Germany, with their allies, will fight for a peace in which the bonds of friendship, hardened by blood and iron, will be characterised by equal strength and loyalty in the labours of peace time.''
