The Mighty Fate of Europe
As Interpreted by Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, German Imperial Chancellor.
"YOUR HEARTS FOR GOD, YOUR FISTS ON THE ENEMY."
Speech from Balcony of Chancellor's Official Residence, Berlin, Aug. 1.
At this serious hour in order to give expression to your feelings for your Fatherland you have come to the house of Bismarck, who with Emperor William the Great and Field Marshal von Moltke welded the German Empire for us.
We wished to go on living in peace in the empire which we have developed in forty-four years of peaceful labor.
