ing upon the address by Prince Maxi
milan. the new German imperial
chancellor. the Tageblatt of Berlin
says:
All Germany. or at any rate that
great. honest and good Germany
Prince Maximilian. in accordance
with his duty as man and as a
servant of his people. has done what
is right and necessary. Why haven't
we learned earlier to know our
SelveS?
Pan-Germanic Comment Bitter.
A sample of pan-Germanic comment
may be found in the editorial printed
on Sunday by the Lokal Anzeiger,
defiantly announcing that the German
people will to the last drop of blood
fight those whose aim is to dictate a
humiliating peace.
'Unbroken stands our front on enc
my land" the newspaper continues.
1--WE shall be able to defend ourselves
more easily against an entente at
tack through Bulgaria than against
Russia, whose millions vainly threat
en- us for three years. Many a -four
ishing countryside must be laid waste
and hundreds of thousands of lives
must be sacrificed by the enemy IL
this maximum of our concessions
does not suffice them
The newspaper somewhat per-
emptorily admonishes President Will
son to realize the superhuman re-
sponsibi1ity placed upon his shoul-
ders." and in magisterial tones hopes
..he will prove himself worthy of this
terrible responsible hour
The Vienna ReichSpost writes:
opportunity to prove his fitness to be
world arbitrator. Restoration Of
peace depends upon the sincerity Of
his will to do justice and establish
new order that excludes oppression
and establish real and lasting
peace. The fate of humanity has
been placed in his hands. May the
President of the great North Ameri-
can republic conscious of his terrible
responsibility. show himself worthy of
the historic task that may cover his
name with imperishable glory.'
