[Footnote 41: Cf. p. 161. These are simply examples of the wild passions war engenders, and there is not always the sergeant at hand who says “Drop that or I shoot you.” One side may be decidedly worse than the other (as seems, _e.g._, to have been the case in the American Civil War), but this does not alter the character of what war does for human nature.] [Footnote 42: See p. 36.] [Footnote 43: “An English Girl’s Adventures in Hostile Germany,” pp. 58 and 124. For other incidents see p. 212.] [Footnote 44: See above, p. 55. For further examples of civilian kindness see pp. 212 ff.] [Footnote 45: It is disconcerting to one’s pride to learn that while the sale of German newspapers in England was entirely “verboten” in 1916, English newspapers may still be readily obtained in Germany in the autumn of 1918. Why are we so afraid of the other side being known?] [Footnote 46: Cf. p. 169.] [Footnote 47: The war has greatly increased that number.] [Footnote 48: My aim is not political, and I do not, therefore, touch upon the many later utterances. The protests, for example, against the unfairness of the Brest-Litovsk Peace have in Reichstag and Press been numerous and emphatic. For such facts the reader should consult the “Cambridge Magazine.”] [Footnote 49: We were allowed to suppose that the Lusitania carried no munitions, the Germans were encouraged to believe that she carried mounted guns. Both views were incorrect. The _New York Evening Post_ (quoted by the _Labour Leader_) published the “manifest” of the number of cases of ammunition carried.] [Footnote 50: Ernest Poole in “Cassell’s Magazine,” No. 42.] [Footnote 51: This seems unavoidable. “At last things quieted down a bit, but many wounded had to be brought in between the firing lines—dangerous work, as both sides are liable to fire if they are seen.”—An R.A.M.C. Officer in the _Times_.] [Footnote 52: From “The Pageant of War,” by Lady Margaret Sackville.] [Footnote 53: Cf. too p. 108.] [Footnote 54: “There is no reason to suppose that he had seen Germany.” wrote Mr. George Long in Sir William Smith’s “Dictionary of Greek Biography and Mythology.”] [Footnote 55: Further, we must remember that “The Red Cross on a white field is not a magic mantle that can ward off shells fired by an artillerist at a target which he cannot see, nor against flyers dropping bombs from thousands of feet in the air. ‘Bomb-dropping flyers are the terror of the doctors and wounded behind the lines,’ remarked a doctor to me.”—Karl von Wiegand, in the _New York World_, August 17, 1916.
