"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 ! uiuuv pfetcueui m uiDtvrjr, "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 BERF J AI BIG t Minstre BIG ( 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 UI LUiIIuiJ y beiici y Jiaic ltc^u i o^tcn 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.''
