Count Pallkao said:-I have the painful mission TO

That Louis Napoleon Bonapare and his dynasty

That there shall be chosen On executive commit

Yesterday, the 5th OF August, there was issued in

Association, addressed to the members of the social.
list democracy OF Germany generally. The French
worklngmen remind their associates in Germany
that the Prussian government has soemnly declared
that the North waged war on the Emperor Napoleon
only, not on republican France and they invite the
members OF the association In Germany to at once
unite In demanding, In the name OF justice that
Prussia shall withdraw her armies from the soil OF
France. If this step Is not taken the two nations
must fight 1t out to the last extremity and to the
last man, and torrents Of human blood will thus be
still shed. The worKngmen in Paris say again-It
is our duty to repeat to our fellows what was de-
clared by the European coalition in 1893 to the
effect that so long as the French people Will not
conclude peace the forces OF the enemy will oc-
cupy French territory. The French people are, and
have ever been, the friends and citizen

they do not interfere in the govern

as the German troops have recrossed the Rhine and
withdrawn from their attitude OF invasion, the
French nation viii stretch out the hands Of friend
ship and fraternity to their Prussian and other
brethren at all points OF the Confederation. The
two peoples shall seek to forget, they shall forget
the mutual crimes which the despos Of Europe have
forced them to commit and seek to proclaim uni.

the people then form and constitute the United
