kl, gives an account of the
warm-hearted help she received in France, and the even greater
kindness she and others received in England: "Not one of us had
had unhappy experiences in England."]

[Footnote 69: War was declared upon Austria May 23, 1915, and
though formal declaration of war against Germany was delayed for
more than a year, the obvious fact was that Italy had taken
sides with the enemy.]

[Footnote 71: The British Chemical Society expelled its honorary
German and Austrian Fellows, men who had worked for the whole of
humanity. The German Chemical Society was asked by some of its
members to expel an English Honorary Fellow who had attacked
German men of science with exceptional virulence. The Society
adopted the dignified course of taking no action amidst the
passions of war.]

[Footnote 72: "Whatever Mr. Ernest Lissauer and his fellows may
have set before themselves in their Tyrtaean poems of hate, in

such that no great nation can aim at the very conditions of

[Footnote 73: This is one view. Others who have seen German life

solidarity which later developments and revelations of Entente

with that of Dr. Ella Scarlett-Synge in a widely distant war area.

Mme. Cyon has very kindly placed her notes of her experiences at my

it has seemed more fitting to print them as an appendix. No statement of
this kind is unbiased, for the pacifist has his own bias. Yet I am quite
certain that everything set down by Mme. Cyon has been set down in
complete sincerity and with unusual absence of menta
