KAISER TO HIS PEOPLE.

The manifesto OF William II to the
German people at the end of the first
year Of the great war will always be
viewed as a historical document, no
matter what the issue of the struggle
is. Will posterity say that the Kaiser
was insincere when he declared thai
the enemies Of Germany had been pre-.
pairing for a decade TO humiliate her,
and that she was driven into a defen.
sive war? We think not, although the
impartial historian. dealing with re.
corded and easily accessible facts, will
decide that the Austro.German coali.
ton was the aggressor and that there
would have been no war in 1914 If Sir
Edward Gray's negotiations for a set.
Element of the Servian dispute had re.
Ceived proper consideration at Vienna.

some other club reap the benefit,
Negotiations are in progress for the
