tify that my conception which hold
of future peace has undergone no
change since was entrusted with the
leadership of the empire s affairs. (Sec-
tion missing.)
81 see, hence, no distinction whatever
between the national and international
mandates of duty and respect of peace
For me the deciding factor is solely
that all participants shall with equal
honesty acknowledge these mandates as
binding and respect them, as is the
case with me and other members of our
new government. And so, with an inner,
peace. which my clear conscience as q
man and as a servant Of the people
gives me, and which rests at the same
tine upon firm faith in this great and
true devotion, and upon their glorious
armed power, await the outcome Of
the first action which have taken as
the leading statesman Of the empire.
"Whatever this outcome may be, l
know it will find Germany firmly re.
solved and united either for an upright
peace which rejects every selfish viola.
tion of her rights Of others or for a
closing of the struggle for life and death
to which our people will be forced with
out our own fault if the answer be our
note to the powers opposed to us should
be dictated by will to destroy us. :.
Will Fight to Finish.
~ do not despair over the thought
that this second alternative may come,
| know the greatn IS Of the mighty
power yet possessed Ly our people and
I know that the incontrovertable con-
viction that they were only fighting
for our life as nation would double
these powers. (Applause.)
"I hope however, for the sake of all
mankind that the President Of the I'm
tied States will receive our offer as
we meant it. Then the door would be
opened to a speedy, honorable peace of
justice and reconciliation for us as well
as for our opponents"

"Our troops captured RemaeOurt and
Tilloy farms (two and n half miles
northeast of st. Quentin) in addition
to several woods and points of support
The enemy resisted furously but did
not succeed in stopping the advance
