, -., ij j no >m v i -H'it ■■*, r# m > d ■-■ The violent desire of_ the outlaw Germans to sow discord in the ranks ol tlic Allies is too foolish' to have much (dicet lor harm, hut the very lull hatred and bitterness the Germans display towards England is, in itseli, proof of how great a harrier Britain has proved to German aims and ambitions. Kipling has said the German answer to the world’s loathing is: “I am strong. 1 kill. I shall go killing by all means in my power till I have imposed my will on all human beings.” It is now hut a question of kill,,or he killed for those who stand against the will of this foul nation. “M' Germany won,” Rudyard Kipling told a great recruiting meeting, the world would be no longer habitable. “So long as an unbroken Germany exists. so long will life on this planet he intolerable, not only for us and for our Allies, but for all humanity. And humanity knows it.” Be also referred to the degradation heaped on conquered Belgium, and told how there are special reasons in the German mind why the British should be morally and mentally shamed and dishonoured beyond any other people—why they should Lc degraded till those who ■ survive may scarcely dare to look each other in the face. We have made sacrifice and are making it: even from this remote corner of the King’s Dominions we have sent our best and bravest, and all too many ol them have given up their lives in the conflict. But we must go on undeterred to the bitter end. The terrific force the Allies are endeavouring' to break for ever, still holds much of the world in terror, and shivering neutral nations, watching Belgium’s fate, know their day has come—if Germany wins ; and yet, knowing this are too faint-hearted to throw their small balance .on the only sid(‘ which can possibly mean freedom for them. In niighty Russia blow after blow is being met, and still the German hordes press on. The fall of Kovno is a definite indication that the invasion of Russia has not spent Its force, but 1 Russia, with infinite patience, is bear- : dug her heavy burden. I’nshaken in I their faith the Allies stand, realis- 1 ing full well, in Kipling’s words of ‘ fire, that it they are beaten “there < " ill be no spot >on the globe where ' a soul can escape from the domino- : tion of this enemy of mankind.” 1
