  1. We do not want war.

  2. The opposite party alone is guilty of war

  3. The enemy is the face of the devil.

  4. We defend a noble cause, not our own interest.

  5. The enemy systematically commits cruelties; our mishaps are involuntary.

  6. The enemy uses forbidden weapons.

  7. We suffer small losses, those of the enemy are enormous.

  8. Artists and intellectuals back our cause.

  9. Our cause is sacred.

  10. All who doubt our propaganda, are traitors.
