"At one time he particularly addressed himself to me (Barton) and said very solemnly that those who were not for peace must take full responsibility for the war that would immediately follow refusal by any Delegate to sign the Articles of Agreement."

WHAT THREE DAY ULTIMATUM?? - THERE WAS NO THREE DAY ULTIMATIM - YOU PLANK
