KAISER’S HYMN OF HATE.

"ENGLAND MUST BE STRUCK DOWN. ’ ’ Furious denunciation of Britain was the keynote of a speech delivered by the Kaiser in Flanders. 'Addressing deputations from all detachments, he referred to the violent battles in Flam ders and to “the marked contrast between the German view of the world and the Anglo-French view of the world.” “It is in God’s hands,” he continued, “when His counsel will give us victory. He has taught our army a hard lesson, and now we are going to pass the examination. With the old German confidence in God, we will show what we can do. In these struggles all the Germans have realised who is the instigator of this war and who the chief enemy—England, Everybody knows that England is our most spiteful adversary. She spreads her hatred of Germany over the whole world, steadily filling her Allies with hatred and eagerness to fight. Thus everybody at home knows what yon- know still better, that England is particuarly the enemy to be struck down, however,j difficult it jmay be., A difficult struggle is in front of us. When England proud of her stubborn resistance Relieves, in her invincibility, you will show that you can do it still better, for the price of the war is the German people’s freedom to live, freedom at sea, and freedom at home. With God’s help we will see the struggle through, and be victorious.”
