It would seem to indicate a dual life of the soul.

Every night at the same hour I'awake with this deep depres- lion. My heart seems torn asunder. and I feel as if I must relieve my agony in sighs and bitter weeping; this lasts for several seconds, without the awakened I knowing why the other is happy or unhappy. The next stage is a sentiment of universal sympathy, full of the tenderest com- passion: “Oh, poor, poor humanity!” Then amidst a shower of bullets I see shrieking figures fallâ€"and then I re- memher for the first time that my best-beloved met such a death.

The German gingoiste and German militarists are to blame for the War. They have come to believe that Germans ex- celled in civilization over all other races, and that they are the God- chose'n race to force Germanism on other nations. The German uovernment and militarism are doomed, never to rise again after this War.” Prof. Riiethdorf stated that the uneducated Germans in Canada are not to blame for upzhoiding the German side. They are fed with German literature and by German ministers, he said. “However, af- ter the war is over they will be better British-ere.
