They are chiefly guilty. Bvery Ger man soldier who during the war re turned home on a short leave waa aa tematieally worked upon that ia to say, spiritually spoiled.

"Nobody knows that." the kaiser said. "Only God almighty can help there. For the near future I do not expect much. -The wprld looks elarkcr every day. It was never so far re moved from -peace as now.
