During the coming four months

The kaisers most powerful ally is the
winter. The cool impudence of the
German note to the pope revealed
rather clearly to the allies the stress
the kaiser puts upon his ally, and the
confidence the Germans have in their
own morale That Germans will
shiver and starve during the winter no
one can doubt; that the old men and
women will die from rather obvious
neglect and that many thousand
babies will perish in Germanic coun-
tries even the Germans know
But accepting as Germans do I'M

ward their enemies. But they will
have no reason to doubt that their
government is doing its best by them;
that their martyrdom is righteous and
necessary. Such is the hideous power
of lies upon a tractable people. So the
kaiser with a diabolic cynicism sneers
