We don't believe in criticising the
words Of others, whose opinion is con
trary to ours, and we have all the re-

opinion is given in good faith and

not, under no circumstances, counte-

long do you think man would exist
in Germany if he dared openly de-
nounce the kaiser or his mandates. or
by force or word try and resist his
commands? Such conditions are un-
heard of in Germany, in Austria. in
