The end of the war in Europe

German Modesty
The great engineer and rail-
road expert, Professor von Ley-
den, of the University of Berlin,
predicts that, socially at any
rate,. the Germans will never
make peace with their, foes.
Writing in the Frankfurter Zie-
tunr he says:
“No self-respecting German
_ will ever consent to remain ina
_ room of which an-Englishman is
the occupant. If the German
“ean nol eject the Englishman he
’ will himself leave theroom, ‘We
can not be expected to breathe
the same polluted air as our

There can be no compromise on
" -that point. . We have to swear'a
