“This news generally raises concerns about the request for joint mediation, leaving no room for doubt. All those who do not believe it are now not only no longer denied, but it is also clear that the Serbs have finally been blessed with good fortune in war once again. It is understood that Turks, Serbs, and Montenegrins all murder and burn with cruel fury, sparing neither children, women, nor the elderly, and not even shying away from the Red Cross of the Geneva Convention.

Now it would be high time for the powers to intervene to protect the interests of humanity in the face of the fighting, as the Nfr Pr reports with authenticity. It should by now be confirmed by the Serbian telegraph to the parties to protect the sad slaughter of human beings.

All powers are to have a joint office, a new writing style and reading method has been introduced to put an end to it. A political motive in the sense of mediation has not been rejected.

The most homespun charade, according to which one writes victory, defeat, diplomacy, is indeed the cruelties, even if it states that whoever… Having won victory, the Serbs are entitled and certainly willing to spell out peace, but they act as if they would throw such offenses overboard, and both sides are still not committing atrocities. However, humanity, one’s own human dignity, demands that the shameful deeds in the Orient be stopped by a powerful force, one of all great powers.”
