AustriaHungary, the catspaw Of Germany in starting
this war is the catpaw Of Germany in trying to end it,
now that Germany realizes that defeat is inevitable.
For many months after Germany had severed all con-
nections with civilization raHungary contrved to
maintain hypocritical pretense Of responsibility which
deceived the allies to extent Mr. Lloyd George
and President Wilson apparently had some confidence
in Austra's good faith for they both stated that Che
dismemberment of Austria outside the scope Of the
aims Of those nations at warsagainst Germany Later
both the British and United States governments had
to regret that they had entertained the idea Of
separating Austria from Germany
The Hapsburg government has been corrupt for cen
turtles, but it has not been servile tool of Germany
until comparatively recently Bismarck humbed the
Hapsburgs, and William II has treated them as the hire
lngs they The two bolshevik traitors Lenne and
Trotzky vile as they are can at least claim company
with Emperor Carl of Austria who has soldshs honor
and his nation to the same syndicate that purchased
Lenine and Trotzky.
peace overture from Austria Hungary is a peace
overture from the savage murderers of Belgium and
France It is invitation to civilization to clasp the
foul and blood-staned hand that betrayed and assas-
icas factories and bridges torpedoed the Lustania
strewed bombs upon women and children in London and
Paris and with endish malice destroyed FARMS orchards
villages and roads in France
What treat for the ends what laughter there would
be in the confines Of hell if civilization should be de-
ceived into taking the hand of its assassin
The world will not be deceived. There will be no
peace by negotiation with assassins.
Germany, possessing force and inspired by greed de-
beratey started this war; 1t has not gone to suit Ger
many Civilization, almost overwhelmed has rallied and
is now about to shake off and STAY its assaiant. And
the murderer asks for parley!
Germany started this war. Civilization will finish it.
No seemed to see clearly in 1914 that the war
could not end until mankind was liberated from all sys-
TENS which deny the principle of government with con-
sent of the governed Mankind itself did not know that
Il to be shocked and bayoneted into universal alarm
and wrath to eliminate in universal uprising for lib
erty. Many minds are still dark They fail to under
stand that this is war for universal liberty and not
that be patched up by few dplo
mats appointed by Germany and the allies.
The objective of mankind is liberty, not peace 1t is
humiliation Of the systems that control mems liberties
not the humiliation of the German people or the expan
sion of allied territory. 1t is not territorial or ma
erial 1t is purely struggle of spirit, trying to
attain its object by using the hammer of force Battles
not fought for themselves but for an object that is
n the realm of the spirit Men fight not because they
dragged by chains into battle but because they are
inspired with DESIRE something not pertaining to the
senses, not part of their material equipment.
The spirit that animates the allied millions which COM
hands them to go into battle and conquer is the spirit
If liberty. That spirit now aame throughout the
world, and in outraged majesty is driving its sword
straight toward the heart of its assalant Who will
attempt to stay lberys hand? Who is the statesman
ruler who will dare to stay the execution of the as
assns? VINO is the who will try to interfere with
