Part 397 — THE NATION IN ARMS.
Reading edition
Address to the French Parliament by President Poincare, Aug. 4.
Our nation is in arms and trembling with eagerness to defend the land of our fathers.
France is faithfully supported by her ally, Russia. She is upheld by the loyal friendship of England, and, already, from all points of the civilized world, go out to her expressions of sympathy and good-will, for she represents today, once again before the universe, liberty, justice, and reason.
Lift up your hearts! Long live France!
