Germans are that Germany is indie

The letter follows;
Fortunately, can tell you that both
my brothers are we'll thus far; though
spared only by chance as both are
fighting in the foremost ranks-one

Cant Strike ut Root.
From the emperor 10 the poore8,
there IL no man, no woman in Ger
many who has not this firm and indie
gtructible belief And this belief
alone makes us stronger than al our
enemies.
This Is, indeed. the mistake in Eng

She triumphed; II she destroyed our
whole merchant marine fleet and our
last man-of-war. even If the hordes
which she sends against Us could not
be thrown back. but trampled our
whole country; even then she would
have struck at only the rcsults--not
at the root - Of that strength that
makes VS. such fearful rival for her

Our industries, but she cannot destroy
the nation of sixty millions that Great

brought about for an, illusion; then
these thousands and millions Of guilt

in vain
+, Hate England Intensely.
For this no Increase of national
power or territory can Compensate MS
For this we hate England with every
fiber OF our hearts. We pity France
ana Belgium and the unfortunate peo-
pie of Russia; but we hate England. !
And ii YOU but knew the spirit OF our

would tremblc for those who will have /
one day to face them and you would !
feel with US. that we shall live 20 see
the end Of this greatest Of world-em- I

J. myself. have the firm belief that |
not the population. but the spirit of !
nation is decisive, and that. as now in
ferlor numbers OF our soldiers drive |
before them the Russian millions, so /
shall we triumph in the end over all
our enemies. and that then truth viii |

are given TO great boasting |
ana we can't hinder them in this, as
words are cheap, and our news does
not reach you. For us our deeds alone
speak But they do speak and will I
ever more speak language which |
all the world must heed.
With us, every man from 10 to as I

Lecture on Architecture.
I love beautiful things. But Il
would not hesitate to have the most
beautiful church shot to pieces If the
life of Que OF our men could thereby i
be spared. Several officers whom we
know were greatly hurt in saving old
