compatible; with Germany's dignity
and safety. It had a somewhat simi
lar in effect to the recent1 statement j
made in the house of commons by |
Premier Asquith, intimating that Ger
many must take the Initiative in suing I
. for peace;
- Arrlving-toq late to prevent tho in
vasi?n of Serbia'tho Anglo-French j
