ABSTRACT
The world-wide protests evoked by Teutonic methods of devastation and massacre left the Germans very indifferent, for, as they were acting in accordance with established principles, they had no idea of bothering about neutral opinion. The German Government began to realize that although might may crush right, the abuse of it breeds an accumulation of enmity which becomes a power in its turn. The Germans realized their mistake they endeavoured to change public opinion by means of newspapers, lectures, and pamphlets. In a part of German Switzerland public opinion was at first favourable to the Germans, but it turned entirely against them when their massacres and incendiarism in Belgium came to be known. Holland, Denmark, Norway, arid the other neutral countries have not expressed opinions as frank as those of America and Switzerland, for they are so near Germany and feel it menace so much that they have not been able to write freely.
