DAzED BY HUN ATROCITIES
Emotional Faculties of Afflicted Bel
CLANS Probably ParaIyzed by the
Horrors They Had Witnessed.

| Mr.. Brand Whitlock, former Ameri-
can minister to Belgium, has been
talking about the horror Of Louvain in
the London Daily Telegraph:
II was struck by the lack of pas
sion displayed by all those who had
so terribly suffered. / seldom heard
any of them express hatred of the
Germans or any desire for revenge.
"None of them, as far as l could
learn or observe, even acted in the
tragic manner There were no he
roles and no histrionics; they did
not even demean themselves as do peo-
pie in the cinema or the romantic nov
els.
an moments of great danger, or
great strain and tragedy, people are
simple and natural; they do not act
In the theatrical sense of the word"
To say that play could be acted
without gesture or other expression
of what we feel is absurd. Nor
would, think, history support Mr..
Brand Whitlock's inference, whatever
may have been the story of unhappy
Belgium.
When Nine. du Barry died upon
the scaffold in Paris, her shrieks de-
lighted the knitting women. The Due
de Guise ran wildly from his assas-
sins to throw himself at the feet of
Henry of France. Pitt wept for his
country's misfortunes-th family of
the Inflated Louis XVI did not cease
their lamentations all night when they
heard that he was TO be guillotined at
dawn.
The choIer Of Judge Jeffreys found
expression in the rawlings and rantings
of mailman. Boabdil wept when he
was driven from Granada. Henry VIII
could swear like Observation-Disclosures
Howard shrieked at Hampton court,
and the superstitious hear her shrieks
to this day.
In my view. the unhappy Belgians
were dazed by the very horror of the

ted by the Hun were too awful. Shall
we wonder If the emotional faculties
were paralyzed?-London Dispatch.

Nerves of many blind soldiers in

Blind Relief War Fund have been SO

The shock of having been made

VICTORY FOR PAN.GERMANS.

According to an official dispatch
from Switzerland the retirement of
Won Kuehlmann. as general foreign
minister, and the appointment of Won
Hintze to succeed him is looked upon
as victory for the pan-Germans.
1t is also recalled that few days
ago the Social Democrat announced
in the socialist paper. Vorwaerts. that
If Won Kuehlmann was forced to go

however. is that the situation will
not be altered in any way. for the

few concessions in form, and in re-
gard to the staff to the liberal party.

tor A. B. Cummins, in an address yes
terday before the Iowa republican
convention. predicted the crisis of the
war will be reached within twelve

COMPROMISE Peace.

IF, on the other hand. England and
America showed themselves ready for
a general peace we should have to
consider our conditions against
France in a different light. Doubtless
then we should possess against Eng
land not only the pressure OF con-
tinued submarine warfare, but the
menace of Egypt and Mesopotamia by
masses of troops which we should
have free. On the other hand. Eng
land and America would possess the
pressure of continued blockade war.
On both sides, then, there would be
careful calculations as to what could
be gained or lost by a continuation OF
the war. We should have q longer
lever than at the time of our peace
offer But reason must on both sides
recommend q compromise peace"
It will be observed that at no point
in Her Meinecke's contemplation does
one detect the slightest stirring OF
moral consciousness.

Though Germany yielded to Holland
on the question Of transporting sand

necessaries for troops by railway
across a part Of Holland. it is becom-

heavy economic concessions on the
