“This is a Funny War!”
WAR MUST CONFORM TO POLITICAL ENDS (British Official Wireless.) Received Sunday, 9.20 p.m. RUGBY, Oct. 14. An Agency telegram from Paris cites M. Henri Bidou, military expert of the paper Intransigeant as stating that war methods must conform with the political ends of the war. Replying to those who are saying this is a funny war, he writes: “It is a question of dissociating the German people from the Government which through its iniquities, its tricks and its abuse of power has become a plague for the whole of Europe. The first thing is to enlighten the German people. The action of British airmen in scattering millions of tracts in Germany is therefore an excellent war operation.”
