It is certain that the British losses as here given are substantially correct. It is possible, as has been said, that the German losses are much understated. British officers and seamen claim to have actually seen several large German ships blow up, and they are probably quite honest in these claims. They may be right.
In its endeavor to unite itself with the world the German soul had suddenly come upon the wildest hatred * numerous high ideals of culture fell to ruin within a few hours. Deeply wounded, it was hurled back into its most personal possessions. Here it found itself face to face with tasks which far surpassed anything demanded heretofore of it as fulfillment of duty.
Forty guns were taken to that time the largest capture of artillery made by the Allies and a number of prisoners. Hundreds perished miserably, but General Foch held back his artillery from an indiscriminate slaughter of men made helpless in the slimy mud. Thus ended the "Affair of the Marshes of St. Gond," which broke still further the German right wing.
That is just the expansive, eager Celtic nature; the head in the air, snuffing and snorting; A PROUD LOOK AND A HIGH STOMACH, as the Psalmist says, but without any such settled savage temper as the Psalmist seems to impute by those words. For good and for bad, the Celtic genius is more airy and unsubstantial, goes less near the ground, than the German.
The whole country, with the exception of Juliers itself, had submitted to the Protestant princes, and in that capital the imperialists were besieged. The dispute about the succession of Juliers was an important one to the whole German empire, and also attracted the attention of several European courts.
If we pass over to the right bank of the Elbe, we would give up all connection with France; the allies, it would be believed, had, by skilful manoeuvres, cut us off hurled us into inevitable destruction. Moreover your majesty will pardon me for this observation we can no longer count upon the assistance of our German auxiliaries. They will abandon us at the very moment when we need them most.
Moreover, the printing of documents related to the laws of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, of books and pamphlets dealing with Biblical prophecies, of revised editions of some of the writings of Bahá’u’lláh, of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and of several Bahá’í authors, of guides and study outlines for a wide variety of Bahá’í books and subjects, of lessons in Bahá’í Administration, of indexes to Bahá’í books and periodicals, of anniversary cards and of calendars, of poems, songs, plays and pageants, of study outlines and a prayer-book for the training of Bahá’í children, and of news letters, bulletins and periodicals issued in English, Persian, German, Esperanto, Arabic, French, Urdu, Burmese and Portuguese has contributed to swell the output and increase the diversity of Bahá’í publications.
But I see no human power that can give the English now what they are determined to have safety for the future till some radical change is made in the German system so that they will no longer have a war-party any more than England has a war-party. England surely has no wish to make conquest of Germany.
The glossary to Spenser's Shepherd's Calendar explains words of Teutonic and Romanic root in about equal proportions. Even so accomplished a person as Professor Craik, in his English of Shakspeare, derives head, through the German haupt, from the Latin caput! Mr. II. cap. i. ad finem. A History of Philip the Second, King of Spain. By WILLIAM H. PRESCOTT. Vol.
On November 10th, a German soldier who followed Vivien about with humble fidelity since she had cured him of a bad whitlow and also because, as he said, it was a joy to speak English once more for he had been a waiter at the Savoy Hotel came to her in the Boulevard d'Anspach and said "The Red flag, lady, he fly from Kommandantur. With us I think it is Kaput."
