Where's her submission to God’s—and_Austria’s—will? That Belgium, after four years of German rule, should still resent her blazing homes, her murdered civilians, her ravished women and her butchered babies, proves her total lack of under- standing. Where’s her gratitude for a brand-new university? Where's her piety, her philosophy, her appreciation of the kultur which has been dealt her with a generous hand? That France should be consumed with wrath because of her ruined towns, her desecrated churches, her crumbling cathedrals, her deported girls, shamed in their helplessness; her felled orchards and her poisoned wells, is most discouraging of all. Germany has said again and again in the kindest manner that she bears no ill-will to France. The Kaiser has expressed his personal solicitude over the havoc wrought by war. What more could any unprejudiced people ask? What more could an invader say or do to atone for the inconveniences of in- vasion? As for Great Britain and the row she has made over the sinking of her merchant ships, and the drowning of some thousands of her seamen, it shows the captiousness of an illiberal and an illogical race. The British sailors, common persons who do not come within the radius of the Hohen- zollern vision, have taken it upon them- selves to cherish their own grievances, and have sworn to punish—“ punish”! —the murderers of their shipmates. If this sort of thing be tolerated, we shall have the African natives setting up claims to consideration, and saying they don’t want to be given back to their divinely-appointed masters. Last of all come the United States, whose withers are comparatively un- wrung, but whose soldiers and civilians seem absurdly angry at the wrongs done to other people, at the terrible stories they have heard, and the ter- rible things they have seen. This is a mental attitude which no German can understand, and there is something poignant in his perplexity. In a world gone so mad that one man’s injuries provoke another man’s wrath, and one nation’s anguish incites another na- tion’s sympathies, there are left only Austria and Germany, and, perhaps, that gentle Judas, Bulgaria, to hold themselves “free from the influences of passion,” for the sake of “the best interests of humanity.” Agnes Repplier.
