But how much actual recognised fighting has sha done? Three fourths of the men whom she has killed have been slaughtered with poison gas or else done to death by some form of trosabery: shot while under the protection of the Red Cross, shot from behind a shield of women, shot by enemica disguised as friende, and so forth. The anmbers of civilians murdered is perfectly oppalling: some killed in seroplane raids on undefended epote, some in merchant and fishing vesela, some (perhaps thousands) in their own towns and villages invaded by the enemy. Again, a good half of the energy which & sivilieed Power would devote to field or sea fighting has been expended on sedition-mongering and lio-now- ing and plot making-often in neutral countries. What wonder then that Germany has no friends? These are the things which we should like the Consul to tell the Chinese about.
