THE four allied powers have
been Obliged TO take up arms to
defend justice and the liberty Of
national evolution. The glorious
deeds OF our armies have in no
way altered their purpose. We al.
ways maintained the firm belief
that our own rights and justified
claims in no way control the rights
Of these nations.
THE spiritual and material
progress which were the pride Of
Europe at the beginning Of the
twentieth century are threatened
with ruin. Germany and her
allies, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey. gave proof Of their
unconquerable strength In this
struggle.
They gained gigantic advan-
tages over adversarles superior In
number and war material. Our
lines stand mistaken against ever
repeated attempts made by armies.
The last attack in the Balkans
has been rapidly and VIGOROUSLY
overcome. The most recent events
have demonstrated that further
continuance OF the war will not
result in breaking the resistance OF
our forces and the whole situation
with regard TO our troops justihes
our expectation OF further sue.
