Urges Teutons to Fight Militarism in Europe
Amsterdam July 27 Maximilian Harden argues in Did Zukunft that Chancellor von Hertling’s charge that the Allies seek Germany’s annihilation is untrue. He cites Wilson’s Mount Vernon speech and Balfour’s House of Commons remarks to show Entente nations oppose militarism yet would allow a fair chance to Germany. Harden contrasts these with German leaders’ calls for annexations, urging Germany to recognize the will to annex and begin fighting the power within its midst. Cholera cases in Petrograd rise as 1111 new and 38 suspected cases reported in the last day.
