lta|y's refusal to enter the war, on the side of the Kuiscr. was tio surprise to the Gerniuiis. 'No well-informed Ger- man ever expected the co-operation of Italy. italy was iii.-_ cluded in the Triple Alliance by Bismarck in order to keep her from going to war with Austria. A war between italy and Austria would have seriously embarrassed Ger- many, aiid the best \vay to avoid it was to compel frictloii between France and italy. and to seize the opportunity to get Italy into the Triple Alliance. iii lils own masterly fashion. Bismarck did just that. but ltuly‘s relation to her allies was never more than platonic friendship. ._
At the present time the Gernian claim is that italy is
bound by her engagements to her allies to reuialn neutral. At the same tlnie. ltul_v’s neutrality seems to be assured only so long as Gerinany and Austria appear io be cu- Haged iu a losing tight. The iiepi‘eciatioii iii German standards of national honor wliicli this war has brought to ight must inevitably have convinced the italian people that “a scrap st' paper" such as the Triple Alliiiucc cr- gfageineut is a. poor thing lo liiilt up German support with italian interests when as is thc case these

Aus- tria. lt is plain, therefore. that the potential strength oi' italy is in reality ati asset ot' Great Britain anti her allies, and that this asset remains to he realized at any time when it may be required to turn the tide of victory. No nation is watching the progress ot' the present war with more serious concern than is italy. ller national honor, which the Italian people cherish as :i heritage from ti history that is an admirable account of righteous achievement, is at stake. lt' Eiigland went to war because of a “scrap of paper," italy remains out of \var because ot' a “scrap of paper," resisting, by all accounts. what is a very pressing temptatioii to her people. iii certain eventualities, italy may decide that her national necessity demands the break- ing ot' her neutrality bonds-but nothing in her past his- tory leads us to believe that she will succumb to a pass- ing ambitious impulse. It' as Germany claims. italy is bound by her alliance to remain neutral, only a very dras- tic cliaiige in the present condition ot’ the warring nations will give italy an opportunity to plunge into the struggle free of all suspicion that she was actuated by more or less unworthy motives. In the meantime, we may take some satisfaction from noting the strictiiess ot' Italy's neutral- ity.

An exchange directs attention to the fact. thot the Ger-
man reputation for devilish cruelty was not acquired iii the present war. l-lc reminds us that the Duke ol \\'elliug- ton in 1807 used the following language in a letter to his mother in referring to a Germaii legion with whoni Brit- ish troops were co-operating: “l can assure you that l`roni the General of the Germans down to the smallest _ilrum~ boy in the legion, the earth never groaned with such ii set of brutal, intanious villians. They murdered, robbed and ill-treated the peasautry wherever they went." .-\nothcr and tliffereiit authority, the famous French novelist Erck- maiin-(`liatriaii, in his book “'l`lie'Plebiscite" thus shows how the Geriiiiins in the days oi' the`great Kaiser behaved. and his description might well be applied to conditioiis today instead ol' 44 years ago. “They itlie Germans) were a religious people. tiiucli attaclied to the doctriiies ot` the Gospel, and who sing liyiiiiis with niiicli feeling. Tlicir Emperor especially, after t-very sticcest-ii`\il lionibariliiieiit. cvcry niassncre, whilst women and children and old -men are weeping around their liouscs iiiestroycil by shells. and from the battlefields strewn with heaps ot` dead are rising the groans and cries oi' thousaiiils ot' sufferiiig whosc lives are crushed, whose flesh is torn, whose bodies :irc rent and bleeding, their Emperor, thc vcneralili- inaii, lifts his liloiid-stained hands to lleayeii and thanks God for hav- ing permitted him to commit thcse alioiiiiiiuble deeds." The present Kaiser is evidently imitating his grandfather in his inipious ittterances.

(By Stephen Black.i
RCTTERDAM, Sept. 29. (Br mail.)
-The following intimate picture of life iu Berlin has just been told me by a special representative whom l coin- niisulotiod to go into Germany at con- siderable rlsk for the purpose of ascer- taining tlie truth. This gentleman, who is not un Englishman. had ex- cellent facllities l'or uioviiig among all classes of people.
()utwardly titers is no sign of war in
Berlin; inwardly there is nothing less. l had been in Berlin only u few hours when l discovered that scarcely a soul, or at all events scart-cly u com- rnou soul. wliieli to the Prussian war cuiite is no soul ut all, knew anythiiig v.'liatever ot' the war. l felt. indeed. that i was in thc centre of Bureau- cracy. Berlin is the heart of Prussia. and Prussia is a land in wliich the citizen has no existence. Every\vliere the oiiiclal is paramount, and today more so than ever. On all sides l saw fat, pompous, brutal nien strut- ting about with lmportaiice stamped upon every line oi' their faces. They looked as though they were bursting with ofllciul secrets that the Kaiser had forbidden them to reveal until the appointed time when all good Ger- mans sliould participate in the great blessing. Berlin today is a little of- ficial paradise, in which the arch- angels'are very fat and particularly proud.
The phychological observer in
search of truth soon learns to sub- divide thc population into three parts:
tal Those who know nothing at
all ot' the war.
tb) Those who know a little and
think they know a lol.
ici Those of the ofiicinl class. peo-
ple indirectly iii the employ oi' the state. and n little body oi” esoteric nut- siders. such as journalists.
LITTLE WAR GODS.
Naturally, Class "A," which knows
nothing at all, contains the most fer- vent lielievers. Their watcliword is “We must win! We shall win." Their daily food is fables. E.\_i-ept that they have added or siiperaddeil the Kaiser to the 'l‘riiiity. iheir_ professed religion seems to he fouiidetl on t‘liristiaiiity. But they liave sct up ii lot ot' little war gods, such as Kriipp, the 17-inch Zeppelin and Hiiideiiliurg. This class comprises porters, barbers, coiicierges, tram coiiductors und \vaiti>i~s; and its principal literature seeuis to be very vulgar “t'oiiiic“ postcards. Any real damage that the 17-ini-ii siege gun niny have done is nothing by compari- son with what f'liiss “.»\" in Berlin be- lieves it to have done and to he going to do. For cxaiiiple-,`l heard it said ii thousand times or more. “Tlic conqiiesi oi` England will be eusy."'
So I kept asking “Why'?" "()li." was the iiivariable reply, “we
are going to Vuiais to law down the
guus which nobody knows aiiything about-and then wi- shall strike ling- laiid in the lieart."
“Anil tlieti?" l asked. “We have ti fleet of sixty ships l_v-
ing ready in Willioiiiisliaveii wiiirii will tish up all the Eiiglisli iiiiiii-s. The brave crews on board have iiilcrcd tri sacrifice tliciiiselves fiii thc l<`uilicr- land. After this our glorious ilcct will go out of the Kit-.l (‘aiial anti luke Eiiglaiitl."
The people who told me this were
nearly always, despite their humble position in life, on intiinatc terms with important officials of Krupp's. Cni- or two, however, iiiodestl_v con- fessed that tliey had been told only by naval ofllccrs. But all had au- thority l'or their statements. They reinindcil me oi` nieii on a rncecoiir:-ic, each with ti sure tip from the stable.

Class "li" iinitirtl.;.' is :~ liitlc legs

But llmmlll (floss "I3" are those who iiicic up stray crumbs ot' knowledge i:~oi_i oiiliritils, and they adopt a kiiowini; at- titude, every now and thcn pooh-pooh- ing some postcard tlieory of the pan. er's. When the final result is discus- sed, liowever, it is always the sunic thing. What is discounted of the “Strike England iii the heart" story is niude up for by exclusive iniforma- tion about the air fleet.
This is being prepared says Class
“ll” for the destructioii ot' the Eng- lish fleets, after which the (lei-mlm navy will cross the (`huiincl aiiil iii- vaile England. There is a certain vugueness about the details ot' the plan which is got over by implied deliber- ate concealnieiit, apparently for strut- Glllf reasons or on national grounds. Several times ti representative of Class "ii" ended the conversation by laying a cautious finger upon a broad nose and suyiiig: “Tlicre are surprises iii store which iinboily but n few know. and iliese will overthrow England completely."
Yet all the tinie huge casualty lists
nre being piiblislieil and greater ones concealed, und some oi' thc more thoughtful people ui-ik themselves why so much life is being sacrificed, why the surprises are ivithheld ami the day of Gcrmaii Joy postponed?
The sorrow of the women is brushed
aside amid brutal shouts for the -Tatlierlaiiil. People who wear black are unpopular since the Kaiser forbade mourning. Street-corner oracles abound. They lay tlown the law in crowds and look for every opportunity to bully the inoffeuslve and gain n spurious reputation for ardent patriot- ism. l had an experience of this.
Standing in a group recently, u man
turned to me and said, with reference to the Kalscr's published cable to President Wilson: "lt is good what our Kaiser has done, is it not?" `
My reply was perhaps lukewarm. So the bully shouted. “l said it was
good what our Kaiser has done. It"| a tlne thing that a lot of foreign spies are allowed to go about in Germany." The crowd had iiwarmed around ine

THE NEW HARVEST.
Since fantasy is the food of the peo-
ple it stands that everything Germany does is good. Once or twice I asked the question: “Why do you let Eng- land blockade your ports and keep focal out'."’ Thi.; inquiry wps met by laughter. ’llien it was said, “Wo have so niany youiisz ini-ii and old men and also .vomen to worl-'.--tliero will bo H new harvest nc.\'t yct\r."

LITTLE EN'|`I-IUSI.-\S;\l.
By beliefs such as these the ollic-
ials are buoying themselves up, but at bottom they have little enthusi- asm for the war. I reached Berlin immediately after the. sinking of the three English cruisers and can vouch for the calmness with which the ex- Dl0ii of Y-he U 5’ was received. Here, again, it was the arrogance of the race. “We \von'f. cheer," they said, "because we are superior to thc French; we rlon't stand npplauding our victories an day." 1 thought that some of the petulance which I Sain now and then displayed wus due to the inflated ideas which had been Drevalenf: in the early days of the war. Such exploits were recorded then thot. the people grew blage and expected at least the capture of Par- ili und the Sinking of .the entire Brit- ish navy,
I talked several times of the won-
derful twgnnizatiiin in the field and heard surprising contradictions from \\rl.‘_ informed people. At Leipzig said one. two trains hill of soldiers' let- ters aail parcels had been chanted on to a side line and completely forgot. ten.
Atrocities-well, we can‘t help
these. There are good and bad every- where. Some of the men in the Ariny have been in nrison-it must. rc they. Besides, the lialtitluns are a lot of beasts, and it is very natural that. our soldiers should do severe things
’in return. ' , This was what I heafd 011 me mb'

While the people are still. told that
the retreat from Paris was a Bl-FBW' gic move, the oliiclals know better. One told me that it. was caused by the breakdown of the coinmlssariat. 1-‘or B whole fortnight the greater part of the Army had lived on bread, biscuits, and water.
