GERMANS STILL THINKING
PEOPLE, DECLARES AUTHOR
Hall Caine Offers Three Thoughts and
Hope for Hun Awakening.
BY HALL CAME.

BY HALL CAME.
Let me offer three thoughts about
Germany which are suggested by recent
events.
First, that deep thinking Germany"
as Carlyle called her. cannot possibly
be so shallow OF mind as 10 believe
in the explanation offered by the En-
peror OF Austria OF the reading Of his
letter to his kinsman. 1t does not re-
quire the production of the original
document to establish the authenticity
of the version published by NJ. ClemeD-
ceau. In that version the reference to
the Just claims OF France to Alsace
and Lorraine are In sensible and logical
sequence with the general argument
and intention OF the letter. In the En-
peror's version the reference to The
French claims to AlSRce and Lorraine
as unjust aHt. indefensible are in direct
antagonsm to the object of the letter,
and. therefore. impossible Of belief
except on the hypothesis that the
writer is a laundering fool. The only
inference Germany can draw in The
secret councils is that the Emperor OF
Austria is not a laundering fool, but
4 terrified liar.
Second. that Mr.. BaIfour did well to
recite the long story of the appalling
miscalculations which Germany has
made during the progress OF the war
we began by undertaking our enemy
prepostcrously, and have gone to over
rate him ridicuiously. 1t Is not good
Tor our national spirit that we should
stand in awe of his mastery of organi-
cation. his military prowess. his fore
slsht and his resource. The clear truth
