than this; that Germany alone OF all
the world was prepared for this gigan-

could be recorded Fighting not for
honor; not for liberty; not for home,
but fighting for gain: for selfish
gain. for indemnities upon poor Bel

from any nation upon whom they
could levy and chief of all their OBJ

No wonder some of them now are
talking about no annexation and no
indemnities They know now that
their game has failed: they know

have turned their faces against the
doctrine that might is superior tt
right, they know now when seven
eighths Of all mankind stand up FOL
the doctrine Of humanity and liberty
and righteousness; they know nov
