People of France, let us all be worthy of these tragic
circumstances. We shall gain the final victory; we shall gain it by
unflagging will, endurance, and tenacity.
A nation which refuses to perish, and which, in order to live, does
not flinch either from suffering or sacrifice, is sure of victory.
The manifesto is signed by President Poincare and all the
Ministers.

Pledge of Czar Nicholas II. to Russia's Statesmen and Soldiers,
in Winter Palace, St. Petersburg, Aug. 2.
War has been forced upon us. I hereby take a solemn pledge not to
conclude peace so long as a single enemy remains on Russian soil.
I wish godspeed to my soldiers represented here by the St.
Petersburg military district, and I am sure that they will fully
justify my confidence in them.
