Leaving aside the astonishing statement that two civilised nations were engaged in the palaver, one feels tempted to won der whether the Archbishop has followed the history of the war, or has even dipped into that large history which gives a cluo to the German mentality. Had he dono either he would have discovered that spoofing is precisely the line of diplomacy by which the Prussian seeks to attain his object (and in past times has too often. succeeded in attaining it,, and that it is his devotion to the same which make him take it for granted that everyone else is a spoofer likewise.

The significance, however, of the archi- episcopal utterance lies less in its curious misapprehension of plain facts than in the attitude of benign detachment it sug- gests, and is apparently meant to suggest.
