"NTIL MOLOCH SHALL PERISH",
BRITAIN'S FATE IF GERMANY WINS RUDYARD KIPLING ON THE ENEMY'S AIMS (Received June- 23, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, 22nd June. Mr. Rudyard Kipling, at a nscruiting meeting at Southport, gave a vivid picture of Britain's fate if she fails to achieve victory. He divided the world into two sections, one of human beings, the other of Germans. "Whatever horrors have been dealt out to Belgium and Poland, Britain's fate will be ten times worse. There are special reasons in the German mind why we should bo morally and mentally shamed and dishonoured, beyond any other people. If Germany is victorious, every refinement of outrage within the compass of the> German imagination" will be inflicted. "The alternative of victory is robbery 'and the rape of our women, with starvation as the prelude to slavery. "The present conflict ia a war to tbe death against the powers of darkness, with whom peace, except ori our own terms, would be more horrible than any war. Germany has already suffered three million casualties ; and she can suffer another three million for the dominion of the world. It seems to me that Germany must either win or bleed to death almost where her lines run today. Therefore we and our allies must continue to pass our children through the fire until Moloch shall perish."
