The article comments on some political and military developments in the world. The manner and context of Berlin's first official report of Sunday recall the first comprehensive communique of August 28, 1914, in which Germany announced a series of great victories along almost the entire battle front, from Charleroi to Lorraine. In a recent address on the work of the medical service of the English army, the speaker declared that the chief aim of the war was to remove "the disgrace to civilization." That disgrace he at once explained as "the waste of labor and the waste of life involved in nations maintaining great armies for the purpose of destroying each other."
