GERMANS WRITHE UNDER HARD TERMS [Continued from First Page.] given by the Allies in their note of November fifth that the peace would be a peace of right on the basis of President Wilson's 'fourteen points.' "Instead of that the Allies have now given us peace terms which are in contradiction to the promise given. It is unbear able! for the German people and is impracticable, even if wo put forth all our powers. Vio lence without measure would be done to the German people. From such an imposed peace ffesh hatred would be bound to arise between the nations and in the course of history there would be new wars. "The dismemberment and mangling of the German people, the delivering of German labor to foreign capitalism for the indignity of wage slavery and the permanent fettering of the young German republic by the entente's imperialism is the aim of this peace of violence. The German people's government will answer the peace proposal of violence with a proposal of a peace of right on the basis of a lasting peace of the, nations. "The fact that all circles of tho German people have been moved so deeply testifies that the German government is giv ing expression to the united will of the German nation. The Ger man government will put forth every effort to secure for the German people the same na tional unity and independence and the same freedom of labor in economical and cultural re spects which the Allies want to give to all the peoples of Eu rope. save only our people. "Our nation must save itself by its own action. In view of this danger of destruction the German nation and the govern ment which it chose must stand by each other, knowing no parties. Let Germany unite in a single will to preserve German nationality and liberties. Every thought and the entire will of the nation ought now to be turned to labor for the pre servation and reconstruction of our fatherland. The government appeals to all Germans in this hard hour to preserve with it mutual trust in the path of dutv and in the belief in the triumph •of reason and of right." The proclamation, which was is sued by the imperial president and the imperial government, hears the signature of President Ebert.
