blame for the wanton acts of violence which they committed on the eve of their departure from Belgium reats exclusive- ly on the Allies for imposing impossible conditions under the Armistice. We suppose that it is to illustrate the desperate plight of Germany, owing to the continuance of the blockade and the seizuro by the Allies, of all means of transport, that thousands of prisoners, of war, most of them British, have been turned adrift from the

internment camps on the Rhine in a state of utter destitution, to make their way, as best they might, to the French lines, whers those who did not perish on the road from exhaustion and exposure arrived in a condition that horrified even war- hardened" spectators. If, however, this diabolical cruelty, which caused the death of many men just as the door of hope was opening to them, is designed to arouse sympathy with the German people it furnishes another example of the curious psychology of the enemy. Following upon the many other disgust ing brutalities to which thousands of our soldiers who gave had the misfortune to fall into the enemy's hands have beer subjected, it will be regarded as an evidence of deliberato malevolence to wards the British and will but serve to intensify the antipathy already felt for the Germans. Our fellow-countrymen throughout the world will welcome the action of the British Government "in warning the Germans that any repiti tion of such treatment will be taken into account in any question of re- victualling Germany or satisfying the requirements of the German popula tion." At the same time, in order to remove any semblance of excuse for such inhuman conduct, food, clothing and transport are to be forwarded, where necessary, to the prisoners' camps. These exhibitions of vindictiveness support the statement of Dr. HAROLD WILLIAMS, the Press correspondent, that there is not the faintest sign of national re pentance in Germany, but, on the con- trary, there are indications that the hostility felt towards the Allica is

her deserts in being spared the horrors intensified. Germany, fortunate beyond

of warfare within her own borders, can never be adequately punished for her crimes, but we trust that she may be compelled to submit to such terms of peace as will subdue her arrogance and leave her in a chastened mood.
