belligerent Britons It seems n blun

tho British way to apply these laws
In nil their rigor in every Instance.
But the German mind Is differently
constituted from the American and
tho British and has been long steeped
In n most arrogant militarism. The
United States or Great Britain would
reel a respect ror a gallant opponent
that would moderate Its rule or the
application of the rulo of tho con
queror. Nor is It the way or either
nation to seek n money solatium ror
wounds recolved In action. We did
