THE WAR:
LONDON September 17th- With the turning of the tide there has come a change in the smug satisfaction of the Germans who still remain safely some say too safely-within our gates. It was highly irritating to see their exultation as the British army retired towards Paris, well though we could guess from the even temper of letters from the. front that something was in the air. To-day, the Teutons who bousted that the Kaiser's legions would "eat up the British army of clerks wear another and a mere sickly look. And now comes another instalment of the official testimony on the German atrocities in Belgium, too well supported by eye-witnesses of repite who are known to me personally to pass unaccepted. They are the most revolting indictment of an army over recorded, and. they are brought home to the Emperor himself by being printed along with his injunction to the German troops in the Allies' march to relieve the Legations in Peking to let all who fall inte your hands be at your mercy. Gain a reputa tion like the Huns under Attila." I will wager a good deal that the Kaiser never. expected his words, to stand in witness against bij after fourteen years · Eye- witnesses have told me of abominations committed by German officers and men, representative of German
culture," that I must forbear to print
Sulloo it to say that the official statement prepared and issued by the Belgian Government, under-states rather than over states the
