Honesty, Sobriety,and Discipline, austere and vigorous—these were thepowerful forces which won for that army its highrenown. They will again be your guides to Victory.

If, contraryto all probability, that surrender has taken place,whatever be the conditions, it must have been theresult of treason. I order you, in the name of theRepublic and of its interests and glory, to bringGeneral Foissac-Latour and all his staff wit
