KAISER LAUDS MEN
FOR GALLANT WORK
Appreciation Expressed for
Victories on Land and Sea
1 in Second Year of War.
GERMAN SPIRIT UNABATED
Emperor Says Strength and Will
of Enemy Are Not Vet Broken
and War Must Go On Until
fatherland Is Preserved.
.AMSTERDAM, via London, Aug. 1.
Emperor William, according to a tele
gram received here today from Berlin,
has issued the following proclamation
to the German forces on land and sea:
"Comrades, the second year of the
World war has elapsed. Like the first
year, it was for Germany s arms a
year of glory. On all fronts you in
flicted new and heavy blows on the
enemy.
"Whether the enemy retreated, borne
down by the force of your attacks, or
whether reinforced by a good assist
ance collected and pressed into serv
ice from all parts of the world, he
tried to rob you of the fruits of former
victories, you always proved yourselves
superior to him.
Sea Victories Applauded,
"Even where England's tyranny was
uncontested, namely, on the free waves
of the sea, you victoriously fought
against gigantic superiority. Vour
Kaiser's appreciation and your grate
ful country's proud admiration are as
sured to you for these deeds, for your
unshaken loyalty, for your bold daring
and for your tenacious bravery,
"Like 'the memory of dead heroes,
your fame also will endure through all
time. The laurels which our ever-confident
forces have won against the
enemy in spite of trials and dangers
are inseparably linked with the devoted
and untiring labor at home. This
strength at home has sent an ever-
fresh inspiration to the armies in the
field. It has continually quickened our
swords: has kindled Germany's enthu
siasm and has terrified the enemy. My
gratitude and that of the fatherland
are due the nation at home.
Kot'n Strength Unbroken.
But the strength and will of the
enemy are not yet broken. We must
continue the severe struggle in order
to secure the safety of our beloved
home land, to preserve the honor of
the fatherland and the greatness of the
empire.
Whether the enemy wages war with
the torce of arms or with cold, calcu
lating malice, we shall continue as be
jure into me mira year or the war.
The spirit of duty to the fatherland
ana an unbending will to victory per
meate our homes and our fighting
forces today as in the first days of the
war. With God's gracious helti I am
convinced that your future deeds will
equal those of the past and present.
"W1LHELM,
"Main Headquarters."
towed aside the boom of logs which
had been placed in front of the slip
to cut off any approach to the undersea
boat. The revenue cutter then backed
into the slip alongside the tug Thomas
F. Timmins and the police boat Lan
nan also went in beside the Wissa
hickon. There were conferences be
tween the police officials, officers in
the United States customs service and
Captain Koenig. These related to the
convoying of the submarine.
While all this activity was going on
it appeared that the tug Timmins was
not steamed up and as the-e were sev
eral women aboard the Wissahickon
the belief spread that the visit of these
boats was but a sight-seeing expedi
tion. At 5:30 the Lannan pulled out of
the slip; the Efco backed in and tied
close to the Deutschland; the Wissa
hickon pulled away and finally the
Timmins backed further in to attach
her line. At 5:38 the Timmins slowly
moved out of the slip, but backed again.
Two minutes later the tug started out
and when it was seen that her-tow-
line was attached to a sea-green hulk
a Cheer went up from the watchers.
In the morning the river leading out
into the channel for a mile from the
Deutschland's pier was dragged. The
search for something which might have
Injured the Deutschland was without
result.
The manifest of the Deutschland's re
turn cargo has not been made public,
but in addition to large quantities of
crude rubber and nickel, it is believed
she carried several hundred thousand
dollars in gold.

BERLIN ENDS NEGOTIATIONS
Deutschland Xot Expected to Make
Dash Today.
NORFOLK. Va., Aug. 1. The armored
cruiser North Carolina and two de
stroyers, which have been doing neu
tral duty along the three-mile limit off
Cape Henry, moved into Hampton
Roads tonight about the same time the
Deutschland cleared from Baltimore.
No reason for the change ln position
of the warships was obtainable here.
While only one ship of the allied pa
trol was in sight at sundown tonight.
it was believed others were near.
If the Deutschland remains with the
tug Timmins it is doubtful if she could
reach here before tomorrow noon. By
putting on full speed, however, and rac
ing away from the tug it is believed
here she would be able to arrive by
daylight.
The consensus of opinion among sea
faring men here is that the Deutsch
land will not attempt to escape from
American" waters in the daytime. They
expect her to put into some secluded
point and await the coming of dark
ness to make her dash.

BERLIN. August 3. Emperor Wil
liam today sent a message to Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg, the Imperial Chan
cellor, in which he said:
Still hard times are ahead. Alter
the terrible storm of two years of war,
a desire for sunshine and peace is stir

continues because the battle cry of
the enemy governments is still the de

left me that Germany is invincible in
spite of the superior ' numbers of our
enemies, and every day confirms this
anew.
"Germany knows she is fighting for
her existence. She knows her strength
and she relies on God's help. Therefore
nothing can shake her determination or
her assurance. We shall bring this
struggle to such an end that our em

attack, and that a free field will be
assured for the peaceful development

There were not more than 100 per

tne Deutschland came out from be

two newspaper dispatch boats there
were only four launches in the stream.
But the spectators cheered and
waved handkerchiefs in unison with
the cheering and waving from the
sailors on board the interned North
German Lloyd steamer Neckar.
The sun was setting in a clear west

from the still waters as the little craft

Whole First German Line and Most of
Se ootid Positions Between Ovlllers
and Montaaban Captured.
PARIS, Aug., 1. The net result of
the British offensive on the river
Somme from July 1 to 15 was stated
officially today to be that the whole
first German positions between Ovil
!ers and Montautan, and the greater
part of the second German position
fell into British hands. Seven villages
were retaken and 12,000 officers and
men were made prisoners. The mili
tary material ttized included 35 field
guns, a naval gun. an anti-aircraft gun,
several large howiters and an enormous
Quantity of machine guns, trench can

Twenty-one enemy aeroplanes were
brought down, beyond question. A
dozen were seen falling head down-m-ds
to earth.
The German losses in men. the state
ment says, must have been serious.
The Germans have had to call numer
ous reserves and have brought to the
Somme front, within the period treated,
2 divisions, which were reposing or
in other sectors. The average loss Is
consequently estimated at about one
division daily.
Population Will Surfer Before Har
vest, Admits Note to United
States, but Blame Is Pat on
British Government.
WASHINGTON, August 1. Germany
has informed the United States she has
refused, "on account of the impracti
cable conditions imposed by Great Brit
ain upon the shipments of foodstuffs
from America into Poland' to enter in
to further negotiations for co-operation
in Poland relief work, which are
devoid of purpose.
Owing to favorable harvest prospects,
however, the imperial government says
relief apparently will be unnecessary
after October 1 next.
The German position 'is given ln a
note handed to Mr. Gerard, July 29, and
made public today at the State De
partment. It apparently is a final re
jection of Great Britain's offer made
in a recent communication acquiesced
in by France, to permit the passage
of American food supplies into Poland
on condition that the occupying Teu
tonic armies would not seize or re
move native products.
No mention is made of President
Wilson's personal letter to Emperor
William similar to those sent to other
European rulers, appealing for joint
action in arranging to feed the starv
ing Poles. The note is in reply to
identical communications sent by the
State Department to all of the bellig
erents concerned. The text follows:
"From the very beginning the im
perial government declared its readi
ness to offer its assistance in order
that Wie distress apparent in those
parts of Russia which are occupied
by German troops and systematically
wasted and deprived of all victuals for
the use of the remaining inhabitants
by the retreating Russian . hosts- be
eased by the relief work of the United
States of America, which is organized
on such a great scale. The imperial
government has particularly offered
all guarantees consistent with the re
quirements of war that the imported
foodstuffs will only serve the needs
of the population of the territory oc
cupied.
"Accordingly, the American relief
might have been realized several
months ago with the same provisions
as in Northern Prance, had not the
government of Great Britain prevented
its accomplishment by clinging to Its
unfounded and impracticable condi
tions. In this way it has become prac
tically impossible to convey a consid
erable amount of foodstuffs from
America to Poland by the expiration
of the term set, as the end of the re
lief work is October 1. Accordingly,
further negotiations are devoid of pur
pose.
"But on the other hand, thanks to
the intense culture of the land affected
by the imperial government by using
the means available and every effort
possible in the occupied territory, and
owing to the favorable harvest pros
pects, a relief action after October 1
1916, can apparently be dispensed
with.
"The fact that the population of
Poland and Lithuania will to some ex
tent suffer until the new crop is
lodged and later on will sometimes
have to put up with straitened clr
cumstances can therefore not be laid
to the imperial government but to that
of Great Britain."
Officials in Washington are partlcu
Iarly pessimistic over the future of the
relief work in the war zones, because
of intimations reaching Washington
that harsh rules imposed upon Poland
soon may be applied also to Belgium.
They see possible evidence of such
purpose in the uncompromising stand
taken in the present negotiations, and
it would occason no surprise here if
Germany withdrew her undertaking to
permit the Belgians to retain their
native crops and Great Britain retali
ated by canceling the privileges ex
tended American relief societies in
sending supplies into Belgian territory.
Such a development, it is feared, would
mean great hardship in Belgium, where
the population is being fed and clothed
by America.

The Germans claim to have driven

Teuton Llae Pierced.
Russian troops at the bend of the
Stokhod River, in the region of the
village of Velickikuchary, forced the
Austro-Germans back and fought their
way through a point west of this line,
it was officially announced' by the
Russian War Department.
AU Teutonic counter attacks in the
Kovel and Lutsk regions, the state
ment adds, were repulsed by the Rus
sians.
With General Kaledine's army in
full control of the Stokhod River,
which has been the chief obstacle to
the westward progress of the northern
wing of the Russian forces under com
mand of General Brussiloff and the
troops under General Sakharoff driving
the Austrian army commanded by Gen
eral von Boehm-Ermolli west from
Brody, the Russians now are well ad
vanced in the campaig"n against the
two important centers of Kovel and
Lemberg.
Of the two objectives, Kovel is in
the position of greater danger, being
threatened from the west, where the
Russians have successfully passed the
Stokhod River, and from the south,
where the Russians recently reached
an advanced point on the Vladimir
Volynski road, south of Kiselin.
The view held in Fetrograd is that
the Austro-Germans. notwithstanding
their stubborn resistance, will be -unable
much longer successfully to op
pose all three lines of advance upon
Kovel, Vladimir-Volnyskl and Lemberg
and probably will be compelled to sac
rifice one of these points to stiffen
resistance against the Russian attacks
on the other two.
Germany Places Own Casualties -at
Far Less Than Those Sustuined
by Foe In ' First Month of
Great Offensive in West.
BERLIN, Aug. 1. (By . wireless to
Sayville.) "According to a cautious
valuation." says a statement issued to
day by the German army headquarters,
"the total Anglo-French losses in the
Somme offensive will reach 350,000 of
ficers and men."
The statement says:
"A month has elapsed since the great
Anglo-French thrust, called ln England
"the great sweep." during which, ac
cording to the enemy's previous an
nouncement, a decision had to be ob
tained under all circumstances by the
enemy.
"On a 28-kilometer (17 miles) front,
the enemy advanced four kilometers
(2V4 miles) on the average, but after
his experiences of July 20. 22. 2, and
26 he will not affirm th: t the enemy
line has even been shaken at any
place.
"This "success' cost the British at
least 230.000 men. according to a cau
tious valuation.
"For the Frencn losses there are no
accurate foundations, but since the
French had to do the biggest part of
the job. and even taking into consider
ation their superior fighting skill, the
total enemy losses will reach 3S0.000.
The German losses cannot be compared
to these figures.
"As the result of the slow protress
made by this offensive, we have had
time to construct new fortifications be
hind our actual lines identical with
those lost. To illustrate the facts men
tioned in the foregoing, it is said that
in the first month of fighting at Ver
dun we gained double the amount of
territory, while the German casualties
were no larger than we could afford."
