WINNING OF WAR

CHAMBERLAIN’S VIEW Spiritual Forces Will Prevail I British Official Wireless]. I RUGBY, April is In a brief speech to the Free ' Church Council in London, Mr Chaiui berlain said: “Every day that passes gives us some new demonstration oi Germany’s utter disregard of religion, mercy, truth, and justice. If they were to triumph in what they are doing, why then every fortress that has been built up by civilisation upon the principles of Christianity wou.d go down, and the world would relapse into that barbarism which only a little time ago we thought had bee.-, buried in centuries of progress. It won’t go down. Only a short while ago, I declared that I felt ten) confident as I did at the beginning oi the war, of our ultimate victory. J repeal that confidence to-day Mr Chamberlain continued: “Germany has made many miscalculations, but none greater than this. This wai will be won by the spiritual forces of the world, as much as by the material power of our brave defenders, and these spiritual force! have been affronted by what Germany has done and is doing.” Mr. Chamberlain added that after the latest outrage of those monsters of wickedness, Germany, who seem to shut the gates of mercy against mankind, all his thoughts were occupied with how to counter that stroke.
