The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER. SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1914. WITHOUT SHAME.

If the ‘German people were not utter- ( ly devoid of fine feeling surely tn« news of the homh raid bn the defenceless people of the east coast of England would not have been received with wild delight and acclamation. Rather should the nation have felt utterly ashamed at such an act. We doubt* whether the hysterical and war-blind people of Berlin will feel so wildly elated when they learn that the British airmen, by ■ way of retaliation and to show how easy it would he for the Allies to inflict terrible injury upon German towns and cities if they were so minded, had dropped bombs on the Krupp gun works at Essen. The German people and those who sympathise with them—if there are any honest people left who now can do so—ought to pause and consider the difference between their boasting at Berlin which has resulted so far in merely murdering women and little children with! the bold effort which British aviators made at Cuxhaven, with the military enterprise which raided Dusseldorf, and with the latest effort recorded in our cables of to-day. The muchtalhed.about Zeppelin raids on England have, so far, been in the nature of attacks from an assassin, while no one can deny that the efforts of the Allies have in each instance been well thought out brilliant military achievements. More and more one is forced to the conclusion that beaten, discredited, and cast down, panicstricken Germany will stop at nothing.
