_NEW PEACE OFFERS_
_Von Bethmann-Hollweg_: "_The worst of it is, I must always deny having
been there._"

In reality none of our enemies has approached us with suggestions of
peace. Our enemies have rather considered it to their interest to
attribute to us falsely offers of peace. Both facts have the same
explanation--self-deception beyond compare, which we would only make
worse if we approached them with peace proposals, instead of waiting for
them to come to us.
VON BETHMANN-HOLLWEG.
_Reichstag, December 5, 1915._

_FERDINAND S'EN VA T'EN GUERRE NE SAIT S'IL REVIENDRA_
* * * * *
In true comradeship the glorious triumphal march of your Majesty's
nation in arms began, which, under the guidance of its illustrious War
Lord, has added one sublime leaf of glory to another in the history of
Bulgaria. In order to give visible expression to my feelings for such
deeds, and to the feelings of all Germany, I have begged your Majesty to
accept the dignity of Prussian Field Marshal, and I am, with my army,
happy that you, by accepting it, also in this sense _have become one of
us_.
