"Tho enemy must bo crushed, for
without that Mtaco is impossible.
"With firm faith in the ine.xhaiist
ihlo strength of Jfussia, 1 e.Npcet the
governmental and public institutions
of Itiissian industry and all tho
faithful sous of the fatherland with
out distinction of ideas or clao,
will work together in harmony to
satisfy the needs of our valiant

"This is tho only nml henceforth
