Présentation de l'éditeur

In President Wilson scircular note of December 18, 1916, he used one sentence which brought forth a storm of anger from the people of the Allied nations. The unhappy passage said that: He takes the Uberty of calling attention to the fact that the objects which the statesmen of the belligerents on both sides have in mind in this war are virtually the same, as stated in general terms to their own people and to the world. On second thought it was obvious enough that what the President meant to write was something like this: When the statesmen on both sides state in general terms to their own people and to the world what they have in mind they use virtually the same words. The biting truth of the passage is evident enough. It says not that the German Emperor and the King of the Belgians have the same objects in mind, but that every statesman, angel or devil if you like, is quoting the same scripture.
