Title
The World-Conqueror Once More
Description
"Wilson: The provoking attitude and the military moustache have disappeared, but it is still the same beastly fellow."

"At a meeting of the Prussian Cabinet on 3rd September 1918 Count Hertling refused to make an immediate peace offer, as he wished to make use of a neutral country as a medium. On 10th September Marshal Hindenburg agreed to the action which was proposed, but Austria refused. Then, suddenly came the Bulgarian débacle, which changed the situation. The question of an appeal to the United States was discussed, and Count Hintze, the Foreign Minister, went to the German Headquarters of 29th September. On the same evening Hindenburg asked the Foreign Office in Berlin to inform Vienna and Constantinople that he proposed to offer the President to commence peace negotiation on the basis of the Fourteen Points, and the conclusion of an immediate armistice."
