ille.] [Footnote 53: Cf. too p. 108.] [Footnote 54: "There is no reason to suppose that he had seen Germany." wrote Mr. George Long in Sir William Smith's "Dictionary of Greek Biography and Mythology."] [Footnote 55: Further, we must remember that "The Red Cross on a white field is not a magic mantle that can ward off shells fired by an artillerist at a target which he cannot see, nor against flyers dropping bombs from thousands of feet in the air. 'Bomb-dropping flyers are the terror of the doctors and wounded behind the lines,' remarked a doctor to me."--Karl von Wiegand, in the _New York World_, August 17, 1916. ("Cambridge Magazine," _Oct_. 7, 1916.)] [Footnote 56: "Church towers in a flat country are the only observation points, and so they are used, and so they are shelled."--Ernest Poole, in "Cassell's Magazine," No. 42, p. 27.] [Footnote 57: From "Is It To Be Hate?" (Allen and Unwin), a pamphlet which I wrote in 1915. On many points there dealt with my second thoughts are different, as are those of many others. We have learned much since then.] [Footnote 58: The public is extraordinarily innocent as regards this kind of information.

The association of the names unfortunately makes us think of the countries as a whole, a word fallacy that leads to illimitable disaster.] [Footnote 66: p. 91.] [Footnote 67: The variability of war stories may be observed also in the columns of the _Times_ during the Crimean War. The truth is, no doubt, that great local differences of treatment occur, and that stories to the discredit of an enemy are more welcomed than stories in his favour.] [Footnote 68: In the _International Review_ of August 10, 1915, an Austrian lady, Charlotte Fran
