"Nosdoubt the speech of Count

tria- Hungary. and pleased the people
there as. 1t was meant to. do: and if

"Ma,,y of the important Austro-
Hungarian newspapers have been re-

THE German ambassador in Vicn-

of Austria-Hungary.
EVEN, at the small railway sta tons
often IA German official controls the
Austrian officials.
so Count Czefnin's speech, in all
it's fundamental principles, gcnunciated
exactly the am attitude of Count
Hertling'sg speech, in spite Of the
words with which it was clothed.
rance was IN no DOUBT ABOUT the
intentions of Counts Czernin and Hert-

.C7ernin us q diplomat. but both con-
veyed the imperial will of those mill

and Hindenberg!
SO we must not be deceived.
THE poisonous monster which
seeks to destroy the world must have
it's fangs removed and It'll body Gagged
before n of MS can sleep in safety.
Peace? The world cries for peace,
but there is only one way to secure 1T,
We must win it, for it is impossible
to bargain with a liar. Me must win
our peace, lind it is better to die thar

a peace which the masters of Ger
many would encourage now would
result in the ultimate slavery of man
kind; and. better oblivion.
Never was anything more unani-

never anything quite equally
unanimous except the ~hlc
