Formidable, no doubt, the Zepps are. It is our good luck more than our good management that they have not done more damage. But brave, as bravery goes in this war, hardly that, so far. We should have expected the Kaiser to curse them and the weather, not to weep. Weeping? Kaisers and Kaiserins and Count Zeppelins should be made of sterner stuff. We do not hear that Herod and Herodias were seen weeping because the attack on Rachel cost them an assassin or two. Yet that is the picture Raemaekers gives us here, scathingly, sarcastically, graphic as ever. “They were brave.” “They fought against odds unnumbered” (of women and children and men 10,000 feet below them). “They fell with their tails to the foe.” Yes, the Zepps are very brave. They’ll have to be braver still before they’re done! HERBERT WARREN. P.S.--This was written before September 2. Yes, they’ll have to take more risks, and they and their friends will have to be braver yet. H. W. [Illustration] _Flying Over Holland_ Holland has acted a rather more than neutral part in this war. Cocoa and bacon, butter and potatoes, lard and oil, beef, fish, sugar, and rice--the amount she has eaten of these has been truly astounding. She has eaten so much and slept so soundly that she has not heard the Zeppelins flying over her, bound for England. Should aeroplanes fly over her, bound for Germany, would she wake up? She has also eaten rubber and dry-goods, and so many other indigestible things that if she doesn’t sulfer from somnolence, for decency’s sake and as a proof that she still belongs to the human family, she ought to pretend to suffer from it--when the aeroplanes fly over her, bound for Germany. One wonders what her opinions are on this cartoon presented to her by her most illustrious son. H. DE VERE STACPOOLE. [Illustration] _“If they don’t increase their Army”_
