"DAYS OF WORLD'S HISTORY."


Congratulatory Telegram to Kaiser Wilhelm II., Aug. 27.

Victory after victory. God is with you. He will be with us also. I
most sincerely congratulate you, dear friend, also the young hero,
your dear son, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince Rupprecht, as
well as the incomparably brave German Army. Words fail to express
what moves me and, with me, my army, in these days of world's
history.

"FRANZ JOSEPH."
