PRINCE MAX OF BADEN

Prince Max of Baden in his address to 1 lie Baden upper chamber declared Germany’s sword alone would never bring triumph. Speaking on the American declaration of war he said: “Wilson has no right to set himself up as a judge of the world. Let us not, however, deceive' ourselves. The American people do believe that the war must be continued in behalf of the ideal set up by Wilson. Power alone can never secure our position and our sword alone will never be abre to tear down the opposition to.us. The enemy must obtain the knowledge that behind. Our power stands an economical conscience.” The prince, whose warning has created a sensation in Germany, is regarded as being one of the empire’s sanest and ablest democratic statesmen.
