TRUTH ABOUT GERMANY
A " second Lichnowskv," the Paris ' Temps ' calls General Count Max Montgcias far his article in the ' Berliner Tagoblatt,' protesting against practices of war of which he had teen an indignant witness. Count Montgelas commanded on tho French front at the beginning of the war, and was disgusted by the excesses committed by the German armies in Belgium and the invaded departments. Ho sought to treat the' civilian populations with justice and humanity, and was retired for this cause. He took refuge in Switzerland, where he studied the origin ot the war and the invasion of Belgium, reaching the same conclusion as Dr Wilhelm Muehlon, former director of the Krupp works, and Professor - Friedrich Foerster, of the University of Munich, both of whom have strongly criticised the German Government.
Count Montgelas's article in the ' Tageblatt' was extremely outspoken for a German general, its charges against militarism supporting the ideas of Viscount Grey and President Wilson. The ' Temps' adds that it- is interesting to find a professional soldier confirming the German Foreign Secretary Von Kuhlmann on the impossibility of a solution exclusively by arms.
