May this war have that effect and under full steam lead to a finish the work which peaceful development had already commenced, i.e., the downfall of English supremacy. If the war hastens and concludes this process, then the sacrifices in blood and treasure will not have been in vain. Still we cannot be too grateful to Dr. Lensch for his lucid statement.
The air's a big lottery, and Archie turned a dirty face skyward where two of our planes were moving very high towards the east. The mention of Lensch brought Peter to mind, and I asked if he had gone back. 'He won't go, said Archie, 'and we haven't the heart to make him. He's very happy, and plays about with the Gladas single-seater.
That's his patent trick. In that agonizing moment hope died in me. I was perfectly calm now, for the time for anxiety had gone. Farther and farther drifted the British pilots behind, while Lensch in the completeness of his triumph looped more than once as if to cry an insulting farewell.
Lensch should amend this by adding to Marx's phrase a few words, so that the amended form would run: "Proletarians of all lands, unite to sing 'Deutschland, Deutschland, über alles." By this simple means the learned doctor would condense the entire teachings of his book into a single sentence. "Greater Prussia was founded by the war of 1866, while the 1870 struggle established a Little Germany.
There were plenty of fellows who saw the campaign as a struggle not between Hun and Briton, but between Lensch and Pienaar. The 15th September came, and I got knocked out and went to hospital. When I was fit to read the papers again and receive letters, I found to my consternation that Peter had been downed. It happened at the end of October when the southwest gales badly handicapped our airwork.
The work bears the title, "German Social Democracy and the World War;" its author is a Socialist member of the Reichstag. Paul Lensch, published by the Vorwärts Publishing House. In dealing with England he refers to their former admiration for this country and proceeds to prove that it was wrong wrong in the interests of Germany, and the world.
I'm inclined to think we haven't had the pick of his push here. Jennings says he's doin' good work in Flanders, and they reckon there's the deuce of a thrust comin' there pretty soon. I think we can manage the kind of footler he's been sendin' over here lately, but if Lensch or some lad like that were to choose to turn up I wouldn't say what might happen.
When our bombing or reconnaissance jobs behind the enemy lines were completed, instead of being able to glide back into safety, we had to fight our way home slowly against a head-wind exposed to Archies and Hun planes. Somewhere east of Bapaume on a return journey Peter fell in with Lensch at least the German Press gave Lensch the credit.
That will be a surprise to spring upon us. You will say that we'll soon better it. So we shall, but if it was used at a time when we were pushing hard it might make the little difference that loses battles. 'You mean, I said, 'that if we had a great attack ready and had driven all the Boche planes back from our front, Lensch and his circus might get over in spite of us and blow the gaff?
I could see that he ached with longing for their return. And yet he never had a word of complaint. That was the ritual he had set himself, his point of honour, and he faced the future with the same kind of courage as that with which he had tackled a wild beast or Lensch himself. Only it needed a far bigger brand of fortitude. Another thing was that he had found religion.
