The Lost Soul of a Nation. Writing from London, "Alien," i,i the "Otago Witness," in the courts of an article upon England and the war, says:— "Our reputation may be made or marred by public opinion, but our character is of ourselves. And it is the oharacter of the individual or the nation that proves public opinion right or wrong in the long run; it is the fact, and not _ the, reputation, that proves the verdict right or wrong. And no 'kultur' of intellect will ever impose upon the world again the belief that Germany is civilised. She may gain the whole world, but she lias lost the world's belief in her soul, in her honour, and humanity. She may blot Belgium off the map, and Germanise her cities and her laws and customs, but the blood of Belgium will taint the name of Germany in the nostrils of the world; and her shattered steeples will, rise for ever as ghostly landmarks of German, treachery. "England's glory and the glory of her Empire—whether we win or lose— will be that we fight fair, soldier to soldier. Our fight is not all disinterested sacrifice—we have no right to give away our national possessions that generations of our ancestors lived and died to gain; but our battle to maintain our right is not over the truimpli of women."
