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!
