Germany and Austria-Hungary have long viewed with

have stated specifically object OF the war by
taking part of Russia and creating from It the king

by responsible leaders IN Germany, less responsible

which would in part satisfy the demands of the entente
However leaders of the entente have declared, and
have made solemn agreement upon it. that the OBJECTS
of the war will not have been attained, until Servia and

mania which now must be included with the other
three.
There are increasing indications that the central
powers will endeavor retain Servia Montenegro and
Rumania acquiring them provinces and thereby elm

the Balkans and furtherng their project OF opening the
way through to the Persian gulf This would strengthen

Thus the larger objects Of the seem to have been

In another part the presidents note is contradictory

The intimatiOn is plain that since the warning po"

In speaking of the general terms which he claims me
beioerents have used exclusively in explaining the
objects of the war the presidents note says:
each side desires to make the rights and privileges
of weak peoples and small states against ag
preston or denial the future the rights and PRIV
eges of the great and powerful states now at wax
Each wishes itself to be made secure IN the future
along with all other nations and peoples, against the
recurrence of wars like this and against aggression OF
selfish interference Of any kind"
These general terms have indeed, been stated, but
the president seems forget that responsible statesmen
of the entente nations have repeatedly asserted the OBJ

inflicted and guarantees against future aggression Bel

Thus the president talks peace, nothing but peace,
while dsavOwing for some reason not exactly clear,
that he is making peace proposals, and denies offering
his peace mediator, while IN fact placing his
services the disposal of the powers for that very Pur
pose and other.
