But after justice comes mercy.

Because Germany has shown herself a criminal nation, not all Germans are criminal.

That same British Army which as it fought its victorious way through the German defences in the last four months of the war, and, while it fought the enemy, fed and succoured at the same time 800,000 French civilians--men and officers dividing their rations with starving women and children, and in every pause of fighting, spending all their energies in comforting the weak, the hungry, and the sick:--that very Army is sorry now for the German women and children, as it sees them in the German towns.

It is our own soldiers who have been demanding food and pity.
The Allies, indeed, have been for some time sending food to their starving enemies.

Mr.Hoover--all honour to the great man!--is ceaselessly at work.
