"No quarter will be given, no prisoners will be taken. Let all who fall into your hands be at your mercy.”—AboNESS OF THE – KAISER TO HIS Tudors, July 29th, 1900.

The determination of Germany to fight England and France, and perhaps Russia, was inipressed on the English people some years ago by M. Emil Reich, a famous" Hungarian professor, who died before hist beliefs were proved by historical fact. His little book has now been republished, with an epilogue signed with initials that conceal an able Oxford historian.* Dr. Reich's quotations from German authors and speakers may now be brought up to date. The sequence is finished; the cvidence complete.

We now know beyond dispute:-- (1)That Germany meant to fight o

ruthless war.

(2.)--That her object is n world-wide

Nothing must be settled in this world without the intervention of Germany and of the German Emperor.:

It is not a far cry from the Kaiser to the professors. They are it less militant. In a formal history Professor Treitschke writes:

To whom, will beling the sceptre of the universe? What nation will impose its wishes on the other decadent and enfeebled people? Will it not be Germany that will have the mission to ensure the pence of the world?

The future belongs to Germany, to which Austria will attach herself if she wishes to survive,

The most popular historical work that ever appeared in Germany is "The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century,” In reviewing a period of early Gerrian history the author says:

So much for war. The belief in war is founded on an amazing conceit, fed by a host of popular and professional writers, that Germans are "The Chosen People."

True history begins from the moment when the German, with mighty hand, seizes the inheritance of antiquity.

So writes the author of "The Founda tions of the Nineteenth Century," and, as in the crusade on behalf of war, he is followed by the preachers,

The German people is the elect of God, and its enemies are the enemies of the Lord," is one pulpit utterance.

quently what his public feels and thinks. -Our German people will be the granite block on which the good God may complete His work of cirilising the world. Then will be realised the word of the poet who said the world will one day be cured by the German character,

The theologians are as bitter as, the professors, Professor Lezius was cheered by studentaraud professors for the follow- ing passage in a popular lecture:

All Polishi societies should be suppressed. without the slightest apology._________ا well as the societies of Alsace. Lorraine, and Schleswig-Holstein.

The people should be allowed only three privileges to pay taxes, serve in the Army, and shut their jaws.

If the professors and divinity teachers speak in this way, what are we to expect of the soldiers? General Von Bernhardi, whose book The Next War" is read with admitation by the whole of Prussia, writes: ---

The efforta directed towards the abolition of war must not only he termed foolish but absolutely immoral, and mast be described as unworthy of the human

race.

This general statement leads up to two direct and practical conclusions:-

(4.)-France must be so completely crashed that she can never again come across Our path.

- (6.)-A pacife agreement with England is After all a will-o'-the-wisp which no serious German would trouble to follow.

Nothing is quoted above which has not had a vogue in Germany, But in con- sidering the crime of Germany against the world, I would make one subtraction from the charge. It is Prussia, not Germany, that leads the crusade. Prussia, not Germany, is mad with the lust of war and conquest; and Prussia is at the mercy of the inilitary clique, because she alone of German provinces still refuses to allow her working people to vote on any equality with the rich.

THE BLACK HOLE" GETDONE.

Like so many brutes these burgesses of Louvain, among them merchants, brewers, advocates, engineers, and representatives of all social grades, were herded into wagons which had served for the transport of horses and were inches deep in âlth. Into each wagon 90 men were crushed at the point of the bayonet by soldiers who seemed to glory in the maltreatment of their fellow men. The unhappy prisoners had, of course, to stand, and, to add to the horrors of the fetid atmosphere, the doors were shut, and only fugitive rays of light filtered through the chinks.

Arrived at Cologne, the prisoners were marched through jeering crowds to the Exhibition Gardens. Men and women surged round the pitiful band, hurling at them vile epithets, and shouting "Zam Tod, Zuma Tod!" ("Kill them, kill them"). Eyen the children joined in kicking the prisoners as they passed. The Belgians could gather no ides, as to why they had been dragged off to Germany, and even feared the worst. The night was passed in the open, and in the morning they broke their prolonged fast on a small portion of black bread.
