FACTS VERSUS ASSERTION.

There can be no further question
that the entire German people are a
unit in believing that their beloved
Fatherland is prosecuting a righteous
war for the defense Of its integrity.
Further, that they firmly and earnestly
believe
That Russia is in the war to acquire
a Mediterranean port and to bring
about Pan-Slavic union.
That France is in the war as Rus
sia's ally, and to preserve its security
as Russia's greatest creditor nation.
The desire Of France to re-acquire its
lost provinces, Alsace-Lorraine, is re-
garded even in Germany as purely in
cidental.
That England is in the war to crush
Germany rs its commercial, naval and
military rival, and has constantly con-
spired to that end until the hour was
ripe to strike. In the German view
there would have been no war had net
England supported and encouraged
Russian mobilization.
In Germany no bitterness is felt
toward France and Russia. Intense
red-shared by every German of
whatever degree, politics or religion
is felt toward England.
The arguments set forth in the Ger
man propaganda now so actively dis
seminated on this side of the water are
plausible, almost convincing. One is
made to feel that the Germans are
wholly sincere in asserting that they
were compelled TO fight and are fight
ing for their national existence. How
ever. it is possible for man or nation
to be sincere and yet be mistaken.
What the neutral, disinterested and
dispassionate observer requires is
proof, not assertion.
The Germans being painstaking and
thorough, and possessing the finest
intelligence bureau ever known, may
eventually be able to furnish this proof
before the moving causes of the great
war are finally set down in history.
Convincing evidence that France and
England were plotting 70 violate the
neutrality Of Belgium will go far
toward supporting the German conten-
ton. Meanwhile the evidence is with
the allies, in that Germany ignored
their invitation to unite with them in
