will not be a "patched-up peace."
FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote 40: Lieut. Dr. Kutscher writes with obvious pleasure
of the _grande loterie de Noel_ shared out by the officers to
the children of C. in France. The children's parties went on,
too, in the New Year. (_Int. Review_, 10th Aug., 1915).]
[Footnote 41: Cf. p. 161. These are simply examples of the wild
passions war engenders, and there is not always the sergeant at
hand who says "Drop that or I shoot you." One side may be
decidedly worse than the other (as seems, _e.g._, to have been
the case in the American Civil War), but this does not alter the
character of what war does for human nature.]

[Footnote 45: It is disconcerting to one's pride to learn that
while the sale of German newspapers in England was entirely
"verboten" in 1916, English newspapers may still be readily
obtained in Germany in the autumn of 1918. Why are we so afraid
of the other side being known?]
[Footnote 46: Cf. p. 169.]
[Footnote 47: The war has greatly increased that number.]
[Footnote 48: My aim is not political, and I do not, therefore,
touch upon the many later utterances. The protests, for example,
against the unfairness of the Brest-Litovsk Peace have in
Reichstag and Press been numerous and emphatic. For such facts
the reader should consult the "Cambridge Magazine."]
[Footnote 49: We were allowed to suppose that the Lusitania
carried no munitions, the Germans were encouraged to believe
that she carried mounted guns. Both views were incorrect. The
_New York Evening Post_ (quoted by the _Labour Leader_)
published the "manifest" of the number of cases of ammunition
carried.]

[Footnote 51: This seems unavoidable. "At last things quieted
down a bit, but many wounded had to be brought in between the
firing lines--dangerous work, as both sides are liable to fire
if they are seen."--An R.A.M.C. Officer in the _Times_.]
