The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER MONDAY, MARCH 6, 1916. THE STRUGGLE FOR THE RIGHT.

With the ebb and flow of the great battle on the Western front there comes further encouragement to believe that while Germany is staking all in this great effort, nothing but bitter failure awaits the German arms.' Vast trains of wounded men

stream back to Germany and the dead lie on the battle front in almost countless numbers. It j s wonderful to find that once again the Kaiser's dumb, driven cattle, buoyed up with promises of certain victory, allowed themselves to be sent in herds to certain death. But how much longer can this sort of thing continue:-' From neutral countries we learn that deep dejection is rapidly spreading among the peoples of the Central Powers, and.the German'Kaiser realises that the only way to save his face is to gain a victory of some magnitude. Neutrals hitherto overawed by the German menace grow restive as time goes on. The foolish dupes of the Hun, especially Turkey and Bulgaria, are awakening to the grave clanger of extinction they are in, and to the further fact tnat Germany is powerless to extricate them from their sore difficulties. Every <"ay brings home more fully to humanity the foulness and perfidy of Germany, and every day confirms the Allied nations more firmly in their great task of arresting forever the baleful influence winch has deluged the world with blood. Liars ahTavs. the Germans are now excelling themselves in the mendacious art though none 'but Germans could swallow the gigantic doses of untruth now labled out to them from every fount of "kultur." As an example, not long ago Professor Llheinhold Seeberg, who occupies the Chair of Theology at the University of Berlin, preaching at the cathedral there, said: "We do not hate our enMnies. Xo, we obey the Divine command to love them, when we kill them, when we inflict untold suffering on them, when we burn their homes and overrun their territories, we are performing a labour of love. Divine love is bestowed upon humanity, but men

I suffer for their own satvatiou. Talents love their children, but whip them. Teachers love then' pupils and punish them. German?* loves other nations and chastises them for : their own good. Germany is subduing the forces of arrogance, greed. I covetousness, and malice, which have J driven other nations to their ruin. The German armies are overcoming the hosts e.f organised evil." Since the outbreak <>l war the Bvangelical Association of Germany has distributed tii the Gorman soldiers more than I 3,000.0000 pamphlets written to prove that they are fighting fo r Right ! against Wrong, and tile Kaiser has ' expressed to the executive commitI fees his gratitude for their 'truly religious and patriotic efforts.' ! This last from the human fiend who ! deliberately, brought about the present awful war solely to further his own impious ambitions, is surely the limit. The day of awakening must come and Truth will finally prevaileven in perverted Germany.
