Sir Philip Gibbs, writing in the Daily Chronicle, says -
Princess Blucher, an English lady whose German husband was well- known before the war in England where be mostly lived, was in the tragic case of many women who had to go to the enemy's country when Fostilities began and to find, if they could, some moral compromise be tween loyalty to the people of their husband's race and their allegiance in blood and spirit to England, which was theirs.
Then in Germany came doubts and disillusionment and gradually des pair. The facts about the first battle of the Marne were long in leaking out. As late as September 23 Princess Blucher writes
"Nothing definite is known as to the fate of the Germans round Paris, It is a harder fight than people anticipated."
But from officers who came back from the front the truth was known at last, and after that the costly failure of the battles round Ypres, when the Germans tried to force their way to Calais.
"I think the Emperor has set his heart on this more than on anything else in the world," writes Princess Blucher.
