But he also knows that there is another side to the medal -a side about which the German is now quickly learning.

But was there much sentiment pertaining to the taking up of France's and Belgium's quarrel; to the steady refusal on the part of our rulers to meet brutality with brutality and law-breaking with law-breaking? Was it only hypocrisy that fortified the men who have endured, month after month, the trenches of Flanders and the asud and rock of Gallipoli? And what characteristics are they that are now forcing the neutral world to comment on the difference between the British and the Gorman submorining methods? What docs Germany begin to think of this side of the medal? John Ball has his defects, but he is not all bad; and since his enemy has started to acknowledge that he is at least possessed of courage, may there zot bo other qualities in the background which have not yet struck the magnificent Prussian minú? May there not, for instance, be more resoluteness and more of the hardness which the up-to-date German zo frankly admires? Let Germany wait and coe if, when the war is over, John proves quite the soft and romantio creature she has been imagining him. It is possible that she may have to learn to her oost that he can be as hard, and as determined to exact the last ounce of penance, as his neighbours.
