Certainly our lo.ssea are heavy

I leel a special gratitude lo IJic IJavarians wlio by their valianco liavo contributed largely to the only end which we have in view: n peace might bo

.made sooner than is expected. 11 incomplete in its results it would at any rate serve to prepare lor the future. It could be signed to-morrow, if I wcro willing. When my august grandfather established the empire on iLs present basis lie did not pretend to have realized a complete work. The empire is always capable of expansion. What cannot be accomplished to-day can L/e brought about later."
