"We nothing extenuate, not tet down auaht in malice

With the tide of war running against Germany, her active resumption of the subtle peace propaganda which she conducted from the time of the Allied victories on the Somme until the complete breakdown of Russia in February of the present year was confidently to be expected. The first overture, made through the medium of her vassal ally, has been emphatically and unanimously rejected ; but it may be taken for granted that she will not be silenced by the first rebuff. For that reason it is well that the Allied peoples should fortify themselves against the enemy's hypocritical approaches The best weapon to combat the danger is the wide dissemination of sound knowledge about the real issues at stake and the real character of our principal enemy. The Allies cannot and must not make peace with Germany until the German people is able to speak for itself, until the Hohenzollerns have been relegated to the scrap heap—in short, until there is a revolution. It is our business to see that nothing shall divert us from the duty of crushing Prussian militarism once and for all, since in that way alone can liberty, peace, and democratic progress be safeguarded for mankind.
