FALL 0F WARSAW

The official announcement that Warsaw, the capital of

Poland, has fallen into the hands of the Germans was not unexpected. In niost of Poland's wars in the past, Cracow and Warsaw have been abandoned, and in the Dresefll instance it held out just long enough to enable Russia to further her plans for an aggresive offensive. In the pre- sent war the first essential is to save men. not territory, and Russia is.pursuing such a policy. But the Russians can afford to lose men and to lose ground in order to gain time for better preparation and more complete organiza- tion. The croakers, of whom we have not a few in our midst. unhappily, ignore the fact that the Russian retreat is slow and deliberate. it becomes slower and-more deli- berate at every stage. It is a retreat designed to wear out and waste the enemy and force him to fight sanguinary

mans are nearer a decision now. They have not destroyed the Russian armies. They have not crippled them. There has been no Tannenbcrg in Galicia or Poland. The Rus- sians have eluded every blow as a boxer eludes a knock- out, and at all times they have been hitting hard. There will come an hour when the German effort is exhausted, and the Russian tide will turn again. The one thing to reinember is that the Russians care nothing for towns and territory. Sq long as they keep their armies in being, the Germans have failed.

Tonic roi: ciioiuiiiis

ln coniiectiun with the eviiviiatioll of Warsaw it is

well to bear in mind that this was anticipated in London at month ago. The brilliant London journalist, Mr. James Douglas, writing in a personal wily on the subject said:

“Do not forget that tho Russians burnt Moscow in

order to boat Napoleon. llistory is repeating itself before our riycs. Lot us bc patient, The vast drama is unfolding itself very slowly but very surely. Russia is the German grave. It is a big grave and the process of burial will be liorrihly protracted. I refuse to worry over tho geography of iiitornicnt_ Tho deeper the l{alser’s hosts flouiider into thc wastes the deeper they will lie. imagine a winter campaign in the snows! Think of the hopelessness of ‘those huge armies striving to attain the unattainable! Small wonder that the Kaiser tells his soldiers that the twar will be over in October! f “if you necil ii tonic remeinbcr that for nearly a year the Gerinnns have been dashing themselves to piece!-i against thc Froncli and British lines. Summer has gone. Aiilunin has gone. Winter has gono. Spring has gone. Now. in inidsuininer, they are still foiled and baffled. Tlicy are not tho mon they were last August. Tlioy are weaker in numbers and resoiirr-cs. The Allies are stronger. The tot-th of italy iiro fastciictl in the Austrian flank. is iliis a rosy situation ls it probable that the strangiilated oiieniy can do to-day what he failed to do at the zenith of his power?

"The mournful mopers forget that the British Navy has

got Germany by tho throat. The silent pressure of sea power is growing ileadlier every day. if wc are not very careful, there may oven bc a cotton famine in Germany. The Huns may be forced to ninke shells out of their shirts. I wish we could all soo what tho Navy is doing. But` the Navy siiys nothing, Tho Germans know more than we do about its daily harryings. What they do not know they can guess. Their guesses may be vory wild, but it is ilio liiisiiiers of tho Navy to keep them guessing. You may be suro that the Navy is making itself a very great nuisance. lt would cheer you if you could hear Von Tirpitz on tho suhjuizt.

“it is good to know that Lord Fisher has come back.

it docs not mailer a straw what his job is. The main thing is that lie is there or tlicreiihoiiis, and you may be suro that hc will cvolvc what Sir Ian Hamilton calls ‘iii- voniion:-i of the ilevll,' Somehow l fancy that tho German subinarlncs arc not joyful just now. ii is rathcr odd that tho Germans iirc so liiiggardly anxious to bring off a sub- marine deal through the United States. Perhaps the ll lambs are meeting more wolves than they expected. You never can tell.

“ln fact I am almost impiously cheerful. For the lifo

of me I caniioi bring myself to groan in an agony oi' de- spair. Blunders? Oi’ course. there have been blunders. War is a tissiic of blunders. Have the Germans never hliiiidercd? Illoss your heart, we have no monopoly in lilundorlng. The point is that we have bought our lesson and are now working at full speed to apply it. Our best brains are busy. Tho whole nation is pulling its weight. I dare say some of you think you could run the war better than the mon who are running it. You are wiser after every event than they are beforo il. But I hog you to blend humour with your infallibllity. If you can't be easy,

be as easy as you can.” ‘ .__ ._

OUR TREATMENT 0F PRiSONERS '

Messrs Longmans, London, have fust 'published at

sixty. cents a. book entitled "The Prisoners War in- formation Bureau," which is a timely contribution to, and

revelation concerning the war prisoner toiitroversy. A Sat- urday reviewer rightly asserts that it |s‘ well the public should know exactly how the British Government is treat-

ing our prisoners of war and aliens who have been intern- ed under the Registration Orders. Here, at last, is the opportunity. Mr. Roxburgh has concisely and clearly put the law and the practice of the whole`matter. His book runs into something less than fifty pages, but, however the reader tests it, he will find no point into which his cur- iosity tempts him to inquire unsettled by a reference to one or other of its sections. Mr. Roxburgli has not only kmastereil the necessary documents; he has also studied thq practical working of the Bureau itself. He is clearly ahié to show that whatever else was deficient in our war

battles without a decision. There is no sign that the Ger- ,

in preserving to tho prisoners of

sword the full rights and privileges of

detention

One cannot help indulging s hope tlist the many thou-

sands of German prisoners who will return to their own

soothe the vltriollc hatred of the German people at large and give to them a rather more reasonable view of the ‘English character. The arrangements made for the con- venience and comfort of these men put them in s position of greater ease than a very large proportion of our own workers. Their food is better; their housing is batter; they communicate with their friends; they are allowed every facility for entertainment; they can spend to advan- tage any money they happen to possess; they are provided with good clothing and with books. All these regulations are followed according to a generous reading of the prin- ciple that prisoners of war should be treated by the Gov- ernment which captures them on the same footing as the soldiers of the Government. lj ' "

More significant is the careful way in which the British

Government has followed the Hague recommondatons for a Bureau of Infomation. The utmost' care is being taken to inform the authorities in Berlin and 'Vienna as to the names and conditions of every prisoner and to preserve and to communicate albevldence as to death on the home. field or in hospital. `The most elaborate organization has been devised to avoid delays or mistakes. Every precau- tion is taken to avoid inflicting upon the relatives of pri- soners needless anxiety and suspense. The Bureau ans- wers to the best of its ability all enquiries received from

Germany. It preserves for restitution all property found with the enemy dead on the battlefield or in the possession of prisoners who die in hospital.

We trust this little book will be widely read in neutral

countries. It is quite innocent of any Pharisaism. It is a simple record of the work done by a small Government department. But it shows in every line a. care that more than the nierc letter of international chivalry shall be ob- served. We are sure that this is in strict accord with the feeling and wishes of wise people. There was never any real call in this country for reprisals against prisoners, and frankly wc have detested tho idea of turning Doning- ton Hall into Do-the-Boys Hall. That agitation was merely the fruit of a passing excitement of a _few individuals who spoke before they had really thought about the matter. This little book stands equally for the first and the second thoughts of the British concerning their prisoners of war.

CULTURE

Rev. A. \\`. F. Blunt, in the “Hibbert Journal", dis-

cussing thc general subject ot’ culture, says that Berlin is the most immoral city in the world. He quotes from Prico (7ollicr`s hook on ‘1Gormany and the Germans” that one child in every iivc born in Berlin is illegitimate and that thc average illcgltiniacy throughout the German Empire is ten por cent. From these premises he argues thai it cul- ture which produces sucli results has little reason for con- sidering itself to bo boyoiid improvement. It is not a very daring conclusion that if Germany has very much to teach, she has also very inuch to learn of the constitutive ele- ments of culture.

What can we teach her? Mr. Blunt fears that "we

shall .bc but poor instructors in matters of morals. We have no right to lecture Germany on social ethics whilst there are still so many black spots in our social conditions, which we l.ave not yet found the way nor, maybe, the will to purge. We are still in the chains of nineteenth-century Materialism. and twentieth-century sentlnientalism docs not give, so far, much hope oi’ being able to liberate us. Canwe teach Germany anything in intellectual matters? We" have a great literature; do we as a nation treasure it, study it, or carry on its tradition? We have scholars and scientists and ihiiikers more human, if lws erudite, than tho Germans; but in this side of learning we are much inferior to France. We are a nation ot’ intellectual apathy and stupidity. Our education is starved, tho plnytliing of constant experiments; we have no consistent policy and no settled goal, Our tradition has been to niako tho liar- iiionlous development of character the object of educa- tion. We have aimed at producing thc ‘gentloman.’

We have siiccooiiod in a measure, and our success in

this aim is the gcatcst contribution that we have ovcr made to educational practice. But we never piirsiiod the ideal thoroughly. Ilarily, we restricted it to a class, and thought the ideal inapplicable in the sphere of olcnientary education; ami the word 'gentleman' has acquired a snoh- hish connotation. Partly, wo narrowed the ideal by an over-emphasis on the element of morals, manners, and physical qualities; and so we have produced the gentle- man oi' little or no information or intellectual interest.

And, partly, we have of late tried to cure this defect by

ii. violent reaction in the opposite direction; we are now tending to exalt specialized instruction at the expense of liberal education; and so our next stage may be to produce the business expert. who is not ti gontlciniin.

The ideal of culture, Mr. lllilnl points out, includes thc

factor of moral enlightenment; and yet, once more, this must not be isolated. at pcril of falling liito the spiritual oxclusivoncss of Pliarisaisin or the rigid niirrowness ut' Puritanism. `

The material. the lniollcctiinl. and the moral, all those

must be combined in the ideal of a perfect culture, and in- corporated in the scheme of a really liberal education.

Perfect culture is the social condition in which can bo

exercised without interruption or -fatigue the activo love of the True. the Beautiful, and the'G`ood in all tlfeii- phases, tho corporate enjoyment by all who_dqsire them of thc things that are truo and honest and just and puro and love- ly and of good report.

So understood, the kingdom of God is the full ideal of

perfect. culture, the goal of a genuine enlightenment. thc pattern of a sincerely civilized society. And thc progress of culture is only real and true in so far as it is a progress

towards the attainment of this end.
