agency announcement, that the Ger-'m

ply of the entente to the note of De-j ist

The note then continues: j M
"Our adversaries aeclined this pro^-1 f0i
?sition, giving as the reason that it is I be
a proposition without sincerity and mf
without imp Ttance. The form in ' ey
which they clothe their communica- de
tion excludes an answer to them tw: pe
tie imperial government considers it sU
important to point out to the govern-' ei
Ments of neutral powers its opinion pr
regarding the situation. The cen-! al<
trai powers have no reason to' wi
enter into any discussion regard
ing the origin of the world war. j of
History will judge upon whom the (
immense guilt of the war shall fall,! en
history'^ verdict will as little pass ] ^
oyer the encircling policy of England.; ja
tke revengeful policy of France and j u
tie endeavor of Russia to gain Con-; x e
stantinople as over the instigation of W|
ike Servian assassination of Sarajevo ti<
and tlie complete mobilization of Rus- re
slat which meant war against Ger- n
many. th
"Germany and her allies, who had i m
to take arms for defense of their | de
this, their aim of the war, as obtained.
"On the other hand, the hostile
jxacwers always went further awa*
from the realization of t^eir plan
which, according to th.e declarations
of their responsible statesmen, were,
among others, directed toward the
conquest of Alsace-Lorraine and sev
eral Prussian provinces, the humilia-l
tioa and diminution of the Austro-]ng
Hungarian, monarchy, the partition of j ug
Turkey and the mutilation of Bui- j co
gam | te.
"In the face of such ^vvar aims, the; w.
demand for restitution, reparation ! tr(
and guarantees in the mouth of our j pr
adversaries produces a surprising ef- j f;0
feet. ' nf
"Our adversaries call the proposal; Ri
of the four allied (Teutonic) powers; ci1
a war manoeuvre. Germany and tier ' sis
allies must protest in the most ener
getic fashion against such a charac
terization of their motives which wer?
frankly explained. Thev were per
suaded that a peace which was just
and acceptable to all the belligerents
"was possible, that it could be brought wj
out by an immediate epoken ex
ang? of views and that, therefore,
e responsibility for further blood
e could not be taken.
Beady to Treat.
"Their readiness was {firmed with
t reservation to make known their
skv conditions when negotiations
?re entered into, which refutes every j
ubt as to their sincerity.
'Our adversaries, who had it in their j
.nds to examine the proposition as]
its contents, neither attempted an '
;amination nor made counterpro-!
sals. Instead, they declared that'
a,ce was impossible so long as the
establishment of violated rights and
>erties, the recognition of the prin- j
-wIq y~>f r> a t a lit ioc o nH tV\o fro.i pv. 1
;ence of small states were not guai
teed.
"The sincerity which our adver-j
rios deny to the proposal of the;
nr allied powers (Teutonic) will not j
conceded by the world to these de
*nds if the world holds before its
es the fate of the Irish people, the,
struction of the liberty and inde-j
ndencv of the Boer republic, the:
bjUgation of northern Africa by i
igiand, France and Italy, the sup-'
ession of Russian alienations and j
?o the violation of Greece, which 16 !

"Against the pretended violations
the laws of nations by the four ai
;s {Teutonic) these powers are not
titled to complain, which from the
winning of the war trampled on
stice and tore to pieces the treatie3
:on which it is built. England al?
ady during the first weeks of the
ir repudiated the London declara
>n, the content? of which had been
cognized by its own delegates as a
ilid law of nations, and in the fur
er course of the war violated in ths
ost severe fashion also the Paris
tclaration; so that by her arbitrary
easures for warfare a condition of
wiessness has been created.
War of Starvation.
"The war of starvation against
,iuaany and the pressure exercised
England's interest against neutrals
e not lass scandalously conflicting:
ith the rules of the laws of nations
; with the commands of humanity.
'^Likewise, contrary to the laws of
itions, and incompatible with the i
nf tirvn atp th^ ur? of!
lored troops in Europe and the ex
nsion of the war into 'Africa, which
as done by a breach of existing
eaties and which undermines the
estige of the white race on that
ntinent. The barbarous treatment
prisoners, especially in Africa, and
ussia, and the deportation of the
ril population from Eastern Prus
i, Alsace-Lorraine, Galicia and Bu
iwina. are further proof if our ad
rsaries point to the special situa
>n of Belgium. The imperial gov
nmpnt has fllwavc nhsprvpd th?
ties which were enjoined upon her
her neutrality. Already before the
ir, Belgium, under England's influ- i

ence, sought support iu. military fash
ion from England and France and
thus herself violated the spirit (of th-^
treaty) which she had to guarantee
her independence and neutrality.
"Twice the Imperial government
declared to the Belgium government
mat it aid nox come as an enemy to
Belgium and asked it to spare the
country the terrors of war.
What Was Offered.
"Germany offered to guarantee the
integrity and independence of the
kingdom to the full extent and com
pensate for all damages which migut
be caused by the passage of the Ger
man troops. It is known that tho
royal British government in 1887 was
resolved not to opose the use of the
right of way through Belgium under
those conditions.
"The Belgium government declined
the repeated offofs of the imperial
government. Upon her and those pow
ers which instigated her to this atti
tude falls the responsibility for the
fate which befell Belgium.
"The accusations about the Ger
man warfare in Belgium and the
measures taken tiiere in the interest

edly refuted by the imperial govern
ment as untrue. Germany again of
fers energetic protest against these
calumnies.
"Germany and her allies hare made
an honest attempt to terminate the
war and open the road for an under
standing among the belligerents. The
imperial government asserts the fact
that it merely depended upon the de
cisions of our adversaries whether
the road toward peace should, be en
tered upon or not. The hostile gov
ernments declined to accept this road.
Upon them falls the full responsibility
for the continuation of the bloodshed.
"Our allied powers, however, shall
continue the struggle in quiet con
naence ana wnn nrra irusi in uinr
right, until peac?^ is gained which
guarantees to their nations honor,
existence and liberty of development,
and which to ail the nations of the
European continent gives the bless
ing to cooperate in mutual respect
and under equal rights together for
the solution of the great problems of
civilization.''

TOSOLHE IS BEAUTV AID,
A >>01JXCES SPECIALIST
Mildred Louise Talk of Interest tt>
% Women.
As health is a first aid to beauty
' this story, toid by Mildred Louise,
1 beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass., Is
of unusual interest.
"1 can recommend no b<?:r.er health
' giver than tonoline," said Mildred
Louise.
I "I was for many months a victim
I of stomach trouole and nervousness,
j I had suffered terribly from paias
| that followed eating. Headaches also
| would add to my worries. Poor di
gestion finally brought on nervous
ness.
"Relief came, however, when I took
the advice of several women who
said, 'Take tonoline.'
: "Not long after 1 started the tono
' tina traofrrunt mw nfltrfinc HaP"?T1
remind me of the improvement ia- my
i condition. And because health is the
, quickest way to beauty, the improv*
; ment was particularly noticeable In
! my face.
| "What tonoline really did for me I
j cannot say. I am so grateful that
I am very willing to recommend ton
j oline publicly."
Tonoline is a purely vegetable pre
i paration which goes to the seat of
| common maladies?stomach and kid
i uey trouble, catarrahal affections and
! the mucous membranes, liver ailments
J and impurities of the blood?and
! quickly restores proper action. Ton
| oline is being explained daily to many
j people at Newberry Drug Co.
Notice.?As tonoline is a wonderful
fle3h builder it should not be takeij
by any one not wishing to increase
his weight ten pounds or more. Al
though many reports are received
from those who have been benefitted
by tonoline in s?vere rases of stomach
