This article presents information, related to the World War I. The fourth year of the war has seen no lessening of the incredible stupidity with which, in her relations with other countries, Germany carries on the struggle. As if determined not to profit at all by past experience, she goes on offending the moral sense of the world. Her U-boats continue to destroy hospital ships and to turn men, women, and children adrift upon stormy seas even, when they are not actually fired upon in their cockle-shells. Of all countries in the world, the United States has been most deeply disgraced by crimes of mob action, and of all times in the U.S. history, the present, with its emotional stress, with its exaggerated fear and impatience of any sort of dissent, is one of the periods when this dreadful spirit most easily overmasters men at ordinary times immune from its virus.
