To every impartial spirit it will be apparent, in the future more than ever in the past, that German im perialism, which desired, prepared atrtl declared this war. had conceived the mad dream of establishing its hegemony the world.' It has succeeded only in bringing about a revolt of the conscience of humanity. "in never-to-be-forgotten language you have made yourself, before the uni verse. the eloquent interpreter of out raged laws and a menaced civilization. "Honor to you.
