opportunity, which more than once was
offered, TO begin the war under less
diihcult conditions. In that period Of
European history were moments when
France was almost powerless. also mo-
ments when England and others were
paralyzed by warlkc complications out
side Of Europe.
Nothing else but the mischievous
will of criminal enemy war agitators
orced us into the sRnguinary defensive
war for life and freedom.
NO American note can alter this his
torlcal truth, which now again is con-
hrmed by General SoukhomlinoF and
General JRnuSchkevitch. nor can the
American note shake our firm deter
minGtion TO fight in loyal harmony be
tween the crown and the people for our
war aims namely. maintenance of our
rights TO Gcrmany'S integrity, freedom
and future of assured peaceful de-
velopment. for which our heroes have
now been fighting and bleeding for
more than three years"
