WAR FOR LIBERTY

Stripped of all diplomatic ver-
biage the text of the reply states
clearly that the Allied nations are
fighting a war which they tried
to avoid for the liberty of the peo-
pies involved; that ample repara.
ton must be made for the viola
ton of the rights Of nations; that
the right of small states to indie,
pendent existence must be recog'
nized; that the militarism which
has menaced the peace of Europe for {
generation must be annihilated, ant
that the peace of the future must b,
secured by complete and unequivoca
victory over the Central Powers.
