WAR WILL BE WON
BY SPIRITUAL FORCE MR CHAMBERLAIN'S DECLARATION TO FREE CHURCHMEN. CONFIDENCE IN VICTORY. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 10.20 a.m.) RUGBY. April 16. In a brief speech to the Free Church Council, in London. Mr N. Chamberlain (Primo Minister) said: —“Every day that passes gives us some new demonstration of Germany's utter disregard of religion, mercy, truth and justice. If they were to triumph in what they are doing, why then every fortress that has been built up by civilisation upon the principles of Christianity would go down and the world would relapse into that barbarism which only a little while ago we thought had been buried in centuries of progress. It won't go down. Only a short while ago. I declared that 1 felt ten times as confident as I did at the beginning of the war of our ultimate victory. I repeat that confidence today.” Mr Chamberlain continued: "Germany has made many miscalculations, but none greater than this. This war will be won by the spiritual forces of the world as much as by the material power of our brave defenders, and these spiritual forces have been affronted by what Germany has done and is doing."
