Dr. Gilbert Reid contributes lengthy autobiography to last week's issue of "The War" to prove "Why he was once Pro-British"—the only effect of which is to make his present allegiance to the perpetrators of unspeakable outrage in Belgium, Servia, Poland and France, and on the broad seas, all the more astonishing. However, that is a matter between Dr. Reid and his conscience, in which conscience has 0 far come off a bad second. The real interest of the article is the introductory paragraph by the editor of "The War," as follows "~The War' is, before all, an impartial organ of the Truth, and if it shows, as some people believe, the 'German' character, this easily can be explained since preaching the truth and circulating the German view" are, in our time, ideas synonymous in the full sense of the word.
Comment upon this wondrous assertion is not merely superfluous, it is frankly impossible. Yet perhaps the German members of the International Institute believe it.
