"The accusations about the German warfare in Belgium and the measures taken there in the interest of military safety have been repeatedly refuted by the imperial government as untrue. Germany again offers energetic pro- test against these calumnies.
 Germany and her allies have made an honest attempt to terminate the war and open the road for an under standing among the belligerents. The imperial government asserts the fact that it merely depended upon the de- cisions of our adversaries whether the road toward peace should be entered upon or not. The hostile governments declined to accept this road. Upon them falls the full responsibility for the continuation of the bloodshed
 "Our allied powers. however, shall continue the struggle in quiet confi- dence and with firm trust in their right until peace is gained which guar antees to their nations honor. existence and liberty of development, and which to all the nations of the European continent gives the blessing to CO., operate in mutual respect and under equal rights together for the solution of the great problems of civilizations 7
