dress of the afternoon was gwen by Ma

standpoint, which revealed the hardness
of the German spirit. He gave vivid
picture of Hun atrocities. He himself
was wounded while aiding wounded men

to feel that but little could be done with
the present generation of Germans but
thought that the next might be educated
