Tho Assembly is nevertheless aware thai tin's war must be waged with inflexible determination, that there can bo no real or stable peace unless the military power of the Central Empires is shattered, and that the Germanic pooplo themselves realise that their aggression and terrorism have brought them nothing but disaster and the moral condemnation of the whole intelligent world.
