His document has been carefully analyzed since its publica- tion, and has done the German cause a defence of the German foreign pol- icy preceding the outbreak, it reveals all too clearly that Germany had de- nitely decided to go it alone, war or no war, stoutly as she may deny that such was the cause. He says annu- more harm than good. Intended as ` I.Ll21l. BU atly: \.Vn ` We could not agree to the English `proposal of a. conference of ambassa- dors (In the Serbian crisis), for it doubtless would have meant for us a. serious diplomtlc defeat. Even Italy was friendly to Serbia and was op- posed to Austria's Balkan interests. The best and only possible way posed to Austrlzvs bamun 1uI.cL cam. The best only possible out was the localization of the war and an understanding between Vien- na. and Petrograd. We directed all our energies to the attainment of that end. Never again, one might hope, it any kind of evidence would be of the slightest avail in such cases, can any one make claim that Germany ser- GOTTLIEB VON JAGO\V. iously tried to keep the peace and to prevent War. When the War broke out von Jagow had been Foreign Minister for a. year and a. halt. He worked hand in glove with Junker- dom in Germany and the autocrats in nnmnn no 1'9. now out of oice. in Germany and we a.uLUu1"ou.: in Wenna. He is now out oice, and certainly has no interest in set- ting up the claim that it was his work and his policy which brought on the war. Yet the best he can say, in answer to Lichnowsky's charge that the German policy had done this, is his conrmation of the facts that: 1 !`_nr-rnnnv rfllged Sir Edward conrmation or me Lac-Ls l.Lla.I.'. 1. Germany refused Sir Grey's proposal for a. conference of ambassadors. 2. It supported Austria. In_ its at- tack upon Serbia. 3. Al1\our energies were directed toward `the localization of the war'." nnm. en mind Hm fanf that Russia toward `the localization 01 we war . Bear in mind the fact that Russia had declared that it could not permit, without resistance, the attack upon Servia; that Prince Lichnowsky had notied his Government that in the event of war Great Britain would stand by France, and that these de- spatches were followed by Sir Edward Grey's now famous warning; and, tin- ally, that France was bound by open treaties of twenty years standing to support Russia. in case of conict, and that in the face of all this the then German Foreign Minister now declares that: All nu-r nna'r9'iF| ware directed to HOUSE FOR SALE-8 rooms on Wellington St. V\'est, all conven- iences. For further pm-timlars apply to .\[1's. McAdmn, 9:") Toron- to St. 2'2-tf declares that: All our energies were directed to the localization of the war. /nah-ea urn: fn have 21 free hand localization or we war." Austria was to have a free in her designs of the invasion and annexation of Serbia, and in the event of any interference _trom an outside power, namely Russia, Ger- many Would stand by Austria for TXIZIF war. Herr von Jagow s reply to Prince Lichnowsky is perhaps the most con- clusive document on this point that has`yet been published. It gives to the Llchnowsky memorandum a force and verity which it could scarcely otherwise have possessed. ..?Z:.__.:_. | 1 1)(.u.Luunuu u. ._ v.......-V .......,..-. ,,,The Blelefelder General Anzeiger publishes this story from` Constanti- nnnI4= puuum noplez Th: nopiez _The Osman Association for Fe- male Labor publishes an announce- ment through whlch all wom - tween the ages of 18 and 3 rs are invited to register for the Female Labor Battalion, which was lately founded.
