Gustave Harve, a French journalist of mark, writing in La Victoire of Paris, says :—“ It is no longer hate against the English that is shown in Germany ; it is fury, it is frenzy l . One easily understands this rage ; the Germans know well that it is England that has broken the arch. Imagine England neutral; picture to yourself the German Fleot mistress of the seas in August, 1914 1 What would have become of the Allies ? German hegemeny over Europe would have become established. Sure of not having desired the great wars which periodically have made Europe bloody, England is accustomed to permit - without flinching, without wincing, without troubling herself—the adversary whom she holds by the throat, to exhaust against herself his powerless rage. Nothing stops her, neither temporary reverses nor the length of the effort she must make. The Germans have the thought that one or other of the Allies may relinquish its grip; but there is one enemy in regard to whom they know that they cannot reckon upon a moment of feebleness, and that is England."
