further tho gigantic aspirations Of
Imperialism.
Germans are immoloting them
selves before thc cannot ct the all
lies because they believe they are
fighting for Tcutuulc civilization
against Slavic reaction. Russiu's
millions are hurting themselves
against German nud Austrian hay-
Vncts for the sake of Slavic institu-

Is FOR conquest of a highway tn the

aim OF I;Hssia Is 10 lay hold Of CON

Nor are these two battling giants
