which in the future shall settle IHSi differences by arbitration and not Dy arms is to reign.
 "The domination of one nation by | another nation is to be excluded.
 Various territorial changes are to be carried out at the expense of the cen tral powers.
 .These annexationist aims, though variouslv shaped. are generally known.
 "The intention however, also exists | esneciaIly in regard to Austria-Hun- gary. to carry out her international disintegration for the purpose Of the formation of new states.
 Finally our opponents demand our atonements because we dared 10 oe- lfend ourselves, and successlully' against their attacks. Our aDillty to defend ourselves is termed militarlsni and must therefore be destroyed.
 territorial aims are, in fact the only things now separating the dhleI- ent belligerent groups.
 "For the great interests of human litv and for the justice, freedom, honor and peace of the world, as set forth i'm the laws of modern political con ception, regarding which we need not accept any advice, we also are ready to fight.
 .SThere is hardly any difference be- tween the general principles enunei- ated by the statesmen of both belliger- Tents president Wilson's four new points on July 4 shall not, apart from certain congregations, arouse our op- position.
 "On the contrary, we are able 10 approve them partly to great extent Nobody would refuse homage to this genius and nobody would refuse his ! co-operation This however, IS not the main point, but it is what can also pc understood in the interests of man kind. Both groups should certainly : honestly attempt to clear this up and U settle it by mutual agreement, but not ' in the same manner as. for instance, our peace treaties in the east were f judged. ' aThe fact is that all our opponents , were invited tc join in those peace negotiations and they could have con It tributed their share in bringing them r. to a different issue But now, when D. if is too late, their criticism stands On
 weak grounds for there is no legal d right which would have entitled them IT to condemn the peace conditions which IS were acceptable to the contractlns D. parties, or. which, could not be aVoided e Prom the confident utterances ol our opponents, it appears they have nc
 fear of defeat. If they, nevertheless
 represent the peace treaties, as warn
 inc of our treatment of defeated en
 emv we do not consider their reproaci
 justified
 None of the belligerent states eve ccma into the positions of Russia ant t Rumania as we are ready to ente \ into peace negotiations with all ou
 opponents: |.
 If our enemies continuously de
 mand atonement tor wrong done an.
 restitution. then this is claim whle! 'n we could urge with more justification i9 aeainst them. because we. have Desl s.s attaoker and the wrong done to u n must be redressed. m "The enemy's obstnacy regardln ~ ris territorial demands regarding A l sace.L lorraine, Trieste, the Trentin 'ii and the German colonies appears |
 he insurmountable. There lies tn VI limit of our readiness for peace. w 'e are prepared 10 discuss everything @ ,s cept our own territory.
 aS ~The enemy not only wants to GU H from Austria-Hungary what he woul le like for himself, but the inner stru' II. ture, that of the monarchy itself, to' e is to be attacked and the monarch ie dissolved. if possible, into componen
 parts. .. ,,
 NOW that it is recognized that O
 tiinarv war methods have not sut-lce
 to defeat us. interest in our intern . tional affairs suddenly has become s' -a nreme. The entente, however, dl ,5 covered it's sympathy in our interni 'ls affairs so late that many an enem s sfateman, who now prates abooN tH -u monarchy's national questions as VIZ a' aim had probably no idea of thelr C - istence at the beginning of the WAT. s "This fact can be recognized irol W that amateurish and superficial ma W ner in which our opponents discus il and attempt to solve these comphcatf es nroblems. This method, however a o hears to them to be useful. The i therefore organized it as they have o S sanized the blockade and in EnglaI
 thev now have a propaganda mlnlste - .sWe wish to place this attack {
 record without useless indignation
 whining. The choice of this new mes of lighting us does not show too gre
 a confidence in the success Of the z
 emy's previous efforts. We are ce
 tain it will be unsuccessful.
 "Our opponents start from col pletelv mechanical misjudgment E the character of the Austro-Hungarls
 monarchy and prefer in their satisis 5!s ton to overlook in the present dll hcult. international problems, the Ia
 that these states with their Vario nationalities are no accidental strl
