WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY.

LATEST VIEWS ON THE WAR

An Ecclesiastical Opinion. The Pan-German programme, as announced to the world, is a mixture of the lunatic asylum and the straitwaistcoat. —Bishop of London.

Importance to the World. This business is more important than the Reformation, more important than the discovery of America, more important than the discovery of printing. — Hilaire Belloc.

The Wreckers. Culture! You wreckers of Louvain! Culture! There are stones of knowledge in your Prussian brains, but there is no culture in your blood. —John Galsworthy.

* * # Teaching the Kaiser. Any Emperor who wants to take somebody else's land is a dirty thief. The one principle we have to establish is, "Thou shalt not steal.''—Lord Halsbury. * * * Kilts or Trews, 1 have come to the melancholy conviction, Lowlander as I am, that the best recruiting dress is the kilt. I am not at all sure, much as I admire the kilt, however, -\if in ,the trenches I should not prefer the trews. —Lord Rosebery. * * * What They Dread. The land of the Germans must be invaded until tliev are compelled to pay the price of all their wanton destruction of lives and property. They dread invasion.—"The Times." * * * Invincible. We must-win this war; but the only sure way is to send Sir John French an army of at least 1,000,000 men, and to maintain it at full strength in spite of losses. This army will bo invincible, for every sold'er in it will have gone of his own free will.—Winston S. Churchill. * # * .More German Hate. It is a fight between England and Germany to the bitter end. We shall never ask England for mercy; we shall extend no meny to her. It is death and destruction for one or other of the two nations. —Richard Witting, a leading German fintneier

Frightened of Their Outrages,

Tlic German outrages arc appalling. So much =o that oven the Gorman military authorities, insolent and insensitive as they arc, have clearly been frightened ou) of their course of brutality ami have within the last few weeks moderated the impulses of their natural ferocitv.— Mr. Lloyd George.

Fn the Melting-Pot. The cause of truth and righteous-nes-i is in the melting-pot, A man who piefers his own ease and comfort just now is net a man or a patriot. —The B : *liop of Carli-le.

Germany Cannot Win. The end of the war is yet a long \v!iv off, but it is clear thai Germany will niit succeed in defeating first France, then Russia, then Great Britain. She will have to make terms, and to make them with enemies probably victorious, certainly tinvannuished.— Dean Welidon.

T'ie Germans' hanpv dream of brotherhood and a united Fatherland, with which, as it existed years aire, we nil flvmnathizod. has been transformed bv (he malum inflir>nee of the Prussian military party into a hideous nh- «•■• ■■■ion of murder and hritrandnge.— c 'r T?av Tnnkester, in "The Strand Magazine."
