New York.-One thousand seven
hundred men and women in the grand
ballroom of one Of the big hotels saw
the German as he really is through
the eyes Of Maj. Grayson M. P. Muir
ply, Red Cross director in Europe.
Major Murphy arrived here recently,
after being in France for nearly ten
months. and he is going back again.
He came to make report to Henry p.
Dawson, chairman of the Red Cross
war board.
Major Murphy said in part:
II want to ask you to consider for
a moment the fact that up to this
day Germany is entirely victorious
In this war; that any peace that is
made today on the basis Of today's
conditions or on the basis Of the
status quo ante would be practically
q complete victory for Germany and
for the German idea. Germany has
lost nothing in this war except blood.
She has fought her war on the ter
ritory Of others. She has drawn from
the territory of others vast supplies
of materials and vast sums of money.
She has had between forty and fifty
million people working for her for
practically no wage-really as slaves.
She has established her cursed hold
on Austria, on Turkey and on Bull
garia, and she has at her feet muir
dered Serbia and unfortunate Rou-
mania.

II cannot begin to describe to you
the horrible. brutal, beastly, consist
ent official things that Germany has
done, not in isolated cases, but gen.
orally, to the women and children
and the poor old suffering people in
the countries where she has set her
dreadful foot. She has stopped at
nothing. British officers told me Of
seeing their wounded piled in heaps
and hand grenades thrown In the
midst and exploded to kill them while
they lay there.
