her mistress exclaimed softly. whit

that his love Of the German army and
his position toward 1t should never
lead him into temptation to cut
short the benefits of peace unless
war were necessity, forced on us
by an attack on the empire or It's al

guard peace for us and should peace,
nevertheless, be broken, it would be
