These men never ve garded nations as peoples of gren, women, and children of like blood and frame as themselves, for whom Göver ments existed and in whom Governments ball their life.

Their pre- sent particular aim is to deceive all those who, throughout the world, stand for the rights of peoples and the self-government of nations, for they see what immense strength the forces of justice and liberalism are gathering out of this war. They are employing Liberals in their enterprises.
