It has never From the outbreak of the war flinched at the logical application of its German apologetics have been the wonder great credo. Neither intellect nor ethic, of the rest of the world and, persisted nor Religion has been able to erect any in as they are, with a vehemence of con- fence over which it could not leap with viction apparently blind to every staring out hesitation or doubt, fact, have induced something very like mental stupor in those who study them. We have been insistently denouncing the German campaign of lies, and judged by all ordinary canons of proof, they curdy. are lies. Contemporaneously the cum bined intelleet of Germany; not a negligible force, has been demoticing England as the arch liar, and the. specially favoured child of the Devil, the father of all lies. We believe that we entered into, and have since boer waging this war, upon very definite and honour- uble principles. And if we are follows necessarily that the principles of the Central Powers must be the exact reverse. So far from this being conceded in Germany, no German really believes Every German, man, woman and child, is as sure as he is of his existence that England was the aggreajor. that Germany has from the first been fighting a desperate fight for national existence against the malign parpose of England, which does not stop short of crushing her out of national existence. We have charged Germany with unimaginable atrocities. The Germans not only deny the facts, but retort the same charges against the Allies, and of course more particularly against England. But, as will presently appear, this issue, from decided upon mere proof of facts. Bacts the derman point of view, is not to be which we describe as inhuman and atrocious, even were they proved, would have quite different qualities weighed in the German scale, and referred to the single great Truth which has now become the basis and primary article of all· German faith. Merely setting one asser tion against another, charge and counter charge, helps but little to throw light upon this appalling welter of confused thought. What is needed is some glue to the labyrinth, if we are to regain our confidence in any general standards of morality and correct thinking. As things stand, we are all very much in the position of mathematicians wrangling over the summation of extremely com plicated figures, to which each side attaches totally different values.
