TRUE TO PRINCIPLES

I'VE do not desire any hostile con.
flict with the Imperial German gov
ernment. We are the sincere friends
Of the German people and earnestly
desire to remain at peace with the
government which speaks for them.
We shall not believe that they are hos

obliged to believe IT; and we purpose
nothing more than the reasonable de.
fense OF the undoubted rights Of our
people. We wish to serve no selfish
ends. We seek merely to stand true
alike in thought and action 20 the i'm
mortal principles Of our people which
have sought to express in my address
to the senate only two weeks ago
seek merely to vindieate our right to
liberty and justice and an unmolested
life. These are the bases OF peace,
not war God grant that we may not
be challenged to defend them BY acts
OF wilful injustice on the part OF the
government Of Germany. President

the work of that organization among

suggesting that the American asso-

writes in his letter, ''that | have
heard from every quarter, including
