CONAN view of the war and of Eng
,.rds part in II Is shown In a letter
ritten by a German woman IN AiS-la-
n,nnoilo TO friends in England, which is
nInted bv the Morning Post.
,rbo writer says she is convinced that
2 -, sdurated and intelligent Englishlnen
, bu gu. Condemn tho war, for which only
, iha british Government and It's policy are
.ns,onsible. She continues:
.9tys know that we are fighting for our
b ,stonce. ms our adversaries, who could
, .'ot overcome our superiority, now desire
.,r,nlv 10 Kill us in order to be relieved of
,,r conIpetition. Embitterment of
Co,,rse prevails everywhere, but also
,nconpa rable self-sacrifce. During the
rast three weeks 1,25O,0OO men have of
fored themselves for military service vol
; UNFAIRLY, SO that the lists had to be
closed
"The soldiers who passed through AK
Ia. .Chapellc looked magnificent. And what
.orrible things are being said in France
sbout the moor fellows! They are ac-
cused of committing all the Outrages
nerpetrated by tho Belgians on them.
I'VE naturally rejoice over our vic
tories. Tho Belgian newspapers now ap-
near in the German language, the postal
and railway systems are in the hands
or the Germans, and, as the French have
as Namur aud Liege are in our posses-
sion, we can hope that the war will not
last Ions. Woe, then, to those who origi-
mated the war.
II am sorry to say that jt Is with Eng
land that Germany Is most angry, be-
cause her policy is so extraordinarily dis
honest. And England herself is a Ger
manic country. II Is therefore compre-
hensible that only one wish is cherished
here, that England may finally be so
deeply Inundated that she will leave us
in peace for a very long time, and will
try TO conquer us only with intellectual
weapons.
"The harvest, which was exceedingly
good, has almost all been gathered, partly
by the school children. Germany is much
richer than we imagined and the price OF
provisions has either not gone up at all
or has gone up only a little Every care
Is being taken of the unemployed and also
OF the wives and children of the mon in
the field. Business Is hardly affected here.
I'VE are gradually becoming very in
dignant about the great tolerance shown
by our Government to all foreigners-Bel-
gians, Russians, Frenchmen and English
men-whOm II permits to remain here,
Collections are even being made for the
poor among thcm.
"a brief report arrived yesterday of an
HllHeLISc Victory lof the Germans in Bel
gum and In the evening of victory
over the French ut st. Quentin. Our
troops are now not far from Paris. Zeppe-
Inns do wonders over the fortresses, and
We can contemplate the future with
squanlmity. We are greatly amused
when We read in foreign newspapers that
wo are barbarians. The poor, degenerated
French people, however. know no better.
We are very sad about the loss of
our four small cruisers, but the misfor-
tune is small in comparison with our
huge victories, and it is only the second
reverse in this war. We have again taken
$1,000 Russian prisoners, who arc glad to
have a good meal In Germany"
