BOMBASTIC SPEECHES

(Received July 20, 11.5 p.m.)

Zurich, July 20,

Telegrams from Vienna show that the Kaiser made a series of bombastic orations in Galicia and. East Prussia. He has been travelling up and down the rear of the German armies advancing into Russia, exhorting them to greater exertions.

Speaking at Lemberg, he said: "Victory complete and overwhelming is in sight. Then Germania will reign supreme in glory, the liberator of Europe., and the guardian of Kultur."

Speaking at Cracow he said: "Germany is fighting to overcome a world conspiracy to blot lier out from her place in civilisation, but Germany cannot be defeated or extinguished. The Almighty has a mission for Germany to achieve. The loyal and useful support of Austria and Turkey will not be forgotten by Germany in the hour of her supreme triumph."

At Beuthen, Silesia, the Kaiser said: "We are approaching the end of this terrible world war, which has been waged with all the weapons at our disl--posal, as a man fights treacherous Bandits. Our foes are now feeling the weight of Germany's blows, and are beginning to realise that we are strong enough for them all."

Speaking at Konigsberg he said: "Our triumph cannot be long delayed; our foes are in confusion. German bravery, organisation, and science have emerged from the ordeal successfully, and Germany is greater and mightier* than ever. For this we have to thank the Almighty and our own strong arm and sharp sword."

The Kaiser telegraphed to the Queen of Greece that he had paralysed the Russians for at least six months, and was about to deliver a, coup in the West that would make all Eurooe tremble.
