CIVILISATION CANNOT BE OVERTHROWN
"The Far East abounds in ruined cities, the last vestiges of once glorious civilisations which have been overthrown. Ypres will stand for centuries as a reminder that civilisation itself cannot be overthrown, and a monument to a generation sacrificed in its defence,'' says the "Westminster Gazette." "The French have decided to leave the Church of Peronne—no longer, alas! 'Peronne la Pucelle'—unrestored as a monument to German savagery, and have even placed an inscription upon it to that effect," says tho "Guardian."
