Excerpt from The Rationale of the Angel Warriors at Mons During the Retreat, and the Apparitions at the Battles of the Marne and Aisne: With a Resume of Ancient and Modern Celestial Interventions and Parallel Instances From Reliable Sources 'entire country has been much exercised stories l'of Intervention on behalf of the Allies at and during the Retreat from Mons, and in the tremendous'conflicts on the Marne and Aisne, whereby the German hosts were hurl-ed b, ack, just as it appeared Paris was about to fall into their hands. Humanly speaking, no earthly power could have arrested the Teutonic flood that swept through Belgium and over North - Eastern France and it seemed to those of us who remembered the Campaigns of 1870, that history would again repeat itself, and that the whole of Northern France and the Capital would have quickly succumbed to the might of the German Power. The idea of the Military Chiefs of the Fatherland was to make a rush for Paris, under the impression that, having once obtained possession of the French Capital, the subjugation of the rest of the country would be a task easy of accomplishment. -half a century ago, this conception might have had some foundation in fact, for of a truth Paris was then France, and France was Paris. But our neighbours across the silver streak have learned wisdom since the fatal war of 45 years ago and even if Paris had fallen into the hands of the German hordes, France would have fought on to the bitter end. By a merciful interpos'ition' of Providence, the first and principal design of that upstart and ambitious Power (whose Capital Berlin has been the storm-centre of Europe for upward of 170 years, and-which was only rescued from complete annihilation by Great Britain and Russia, in 1814-15) has been frustrated but not merely by human power I firmly believe and I think that I am voicing the opinion of thousands of devout.
