"All that the courageous Belgian people had to put up with at the hands of our terrible enemy we can understand, for we in turn have had to sustain each of their trials; we have submitted, and will have to submit to double cruelties.

But . Serb Artist Thinks Fate of His Country More Disastrous. In an article written for L‘lllustraâ€" tion, of Paris, to accompany some matter from _ extremely opposite points of view, what they say comâ€" plements each other, and Lord Nort‘tâ€" cliffe‘s view that England is "just get-{ ting ready" to fight fits in with llar-' den‘s point that Germany is more than ready to continue its oflensive.! The Berlin editor is quite right in' saying that if the Allies believe that "Germany is exhausted" or has not{ kept up with her admittedly high state; of _ "beforeâ€"theâ€"war" military | preâ€"| paredness they are indulging them-t selves in vain illusions. All this‘i means, of course, indefinite pro]onga-l‘ tion of the war. Indeed, that the duration of the war will probably surprise even those who "look to a long war" is indicated very clearly in the utterances of Maxiâ€" milien Harden, the famous Berlin edâ€" itor and Lord Northcliffe, the great British publisher. While these wellâ€" known personages naturally view the equal to its evolution, the war in Europe will last for years. Moreâ€" over, to turn to what might be called the psychology of the war, that there is no immediate letâ€"up in sight is conâ€" firmed every time the primary facâ€" tors that are considered necessary to bring about and to maintain a perâ€" manent and stable peace are stated by either side. For it is obvious at this juncture that neither the Allies nor the Central Powers are within anything but the remotest prospect of those basic conditions which all are agreed can only end the war. | might NOTES ANDcomMuENtT3 §â€"â€"â€".â€"..
