THE EVILS OF GERMANY.

London, Dec. 25.-. Correspond ence) )-"The fundamental evil of Germany today is idolatry," said Lord Robert Cecil in statement for The Associated Press today. 'They have set up for themselves a graven image, just as truly as did the wor shippers of Baal against whom the prophets of the Bible preached.
 "Germany's idol is the state. They place the state above religion, above morality, above all laws of God or man. They believe that any act is justified which advances the interests of the German State, however base that act may be, however immoral, however inconsiderate of the lawful rights of others.
 ".Otto Kahn, himself a German by origin, has defined this State-idolatry as the demoniacal obsession of pow er-worship and world-dominion.'
 "This idolatry is at the bottom of our whole fight against Germany. It is the secret of the whole revolting list of outrages and atrocities which Germany has committed against the civilized world. The violation of Bel gium, the Armenian atrocities, the unspeakable horrors of submarine warfare-all these are the outcome of a creed which holds that no laws of morality are binding when the de- fense of the state-idol is at stake.
 "The results of this violating of the foundations of morality by Ger many are bound to be colossal and far-reaching. They mean the degen- eracy of the whole German structure,- and the effects are already seen in the wave of crime and immortality which is sweeping over Germany. So long as the governing classes are in- fected with this doctrine there is no limit to the wickedness and cruelty which will be put into execution. It means the undermining ultimately of the whole fabric of civilization. This is what President Wilson has fore seen. This is a reason for the deter imitation of President Wilson and the leaders of the allies on both sides of the water to carry this war through, whatever the cost, in order that tho world may be fit world to live in.
 'The Lansdowne letter has been thought by some to indicate some weakening of determination on the part of this country, some change of attitude. I believe any such impress sion is a profound delusion. l know it is delusion as far as the actual government of England is concerned, and I believe that the British people as whole, including Lord Lansdowne himself, are more determined than ever to bring the war to a victorious conclusion.
 <'I see that it is being alleged with certain degree of plausibility that there are many points in which Lord Lansdowne is in agreement with President Wilson's message. That may be so. But in the case of the presidents message there breathes through every line not only deter imitation to win-for in that there is no difference between the two men but also a certainty of victory Pres ident Wilson's message has an inspir- ation of leadership which Lansdowne's letter lacks"
