anteed.
Premier Rene viviani set this forth
In emphatic fashion when the French
senate and chamber of deputies met
In extraordinary session to take steps
for the successful waging Of the con-
flict.
The speech of the premier was in

front and attended the session in their
uniforms. The seats OF those who

Full responsibility for the war was
placed upon Germany by the premier
and he declared that this was clear
to the world.
The premier's speech was as fol-
lows:
This communication Is not the Gus
tomary declaration in which a govern
ment which presents itself Tor the
first time before the parliament defies
it's policy.
"At this hour It has not other policy
than combat without mercy until
the definite liberation OF Europe shall
be guaranteed by a peace accom-
plished by absolute victory. ~
"Ali the documents published by the
nations involved and even the sensa-
tional speech made at Rome by one
OF the most illustrious representatives
OF noble Italy demonstrate that our
enemy. for long time. had been de-
termiped to attempt the use of force.
ANY one Of these documents would
be sufficient to make It clear to the
world that when. at the suggestion Of
the British government. all the ma
tons we're asked to suspend their
military preparations and to begin me-
gotiatiohs at London. on July 81. 1914.
France and Russia adhered them
selves to the project.
AT that moment, peace would have
been preserved II the Germans In that
supreme hour had followed this initia-
tive.
But the Germans brought the situa-
ton to climax by abruptly declar-
ing war against Russia on August L.
BY this action, the resort to arms by
all the nations became inevitable.
IF Germany automatically sought
peace in its very germ. It is strange
that after more than forty years she
should have pursued her aim. which
was the effacement of France in order
to acquire for herself the supremacy
of the world.
"All the revelations are brought be-
fore this tribunal of history in which
there is no place for corruption. and
let II be known that In spite of their
desire for peace, France and her al
lies will continue this war to the very
end"
