90. London.-It / 8 impossible ade-
Quately to describe the war spirit
which has swept over England since
the repulse of the allied army on the
French frontier Until then the peo-
PIE were not fully aroused or awak-
ened, but Eow the most sober and Sc
date Irishman as we'll as Englishman
talk Of putting an army of 100000
British in the field in the next eight
months.
There is no doubt whatever now
that II the allied armies in France
had been completely annihilated and
il the Germans we're at the gates
Of Paris the war would only have
begun.
Following are two appeals typical
OF spirit in England and Ireland.
'First-By 7. p. O'Connor. NJ. p
There is one fundamental fact which
lies at the roots of this titanic strug-
gle. The nation is one. There is no
division Of party or of class or OF
opinion. We believe we are fighting
for the greatest of all human rights
for nationality, for liberty and
against a military dictatorship in
Europe.
I'VE fought that issue before when
a greater man than Emperor William
had Europe under his soldier heel.
AS we beat Napoleon so we sail beat
William.
IF anybody has any doubt as to
what the dictatorship Of Europe by
Germany woulu mean. one has only to
re-read the history of France and Al
sace-Lorraine during the last A years.
II any further doubt exists one has
only to turn to the treatment Of the
Poles in Posen. where their language
has been forbidden in school, their
people have been harried by all kinds
Of legislation intended to give them
the alternative of exile or submis-
sion. II such a dictatorship were to
be established in Europe-and the
success of Germany would mean such
a. Observation-Disclosures would no
longer be a continent where free men
could live in happiness.
Secondly d. T. Crozier, arch
bishop of Armagh -Ruskin, said
tell you that war is the foundation of
all the arts. II is very strange to me
to discover this very dreadful truth.
but I see II is to be quite an unde-
niable fact. l find in grief that all
great nations learned their truth of
word and strength of thought in war;
4 that they were nourished in war and
wasted by peace; trained by war and
betrayed by peace. In a word that
they were born in war and expired IL
peace.
THE thought is a strange one. and
no doubt, like all Ruskins it contained
deep seed Of truth. All soldiers men
toned specially in the New Testamen,
were singled out for praise while in
our own church some of the noblest
names In Christian records were
those Of distinguished soldiers.
ITO every land, including Germany
the victory will bring a new regime
Of freedom, of democracy and of Jus
tice. We shall iberate the Slav, W,
shall iberate the Frenchman, and W,
shall liberate the Italian. Alread!
this war has brought the Liberation
Of Poland and the liberation of Ire
land has won her to the empire. W.
shall liberate the oppressed Jew.
I'VE fight for liberty everywher
and We shall win-we must win"
