"In such circumstances tho president's address will make a profound impression impres-sion on all by Its sublime disinterested disinterest-ed attitude, renouncing as it does, all desire for territorial and economic delineation. If Germany doe3 not accept ac-cept tho peace thus sketched, sho will not be able to pretend that the world does not desire peace, but must admit that tho world is only determined not to have a German peace."
