许多报纸把俄国压迫犹太人的老照片找出来，借以证明德国人正在掠夺比利时。

4个月后，他建立国家战争目标委员会，让前首相阿斯奎斯担任主席。这个具有古怪名字的委员会，其主要任务不是去制定英国的战争目标，也不是回应德国的宣传，而是消除国内的不满情绪。英国政府为这个委员会分配了前所未有的24万英镑活动经费，工作重点放在用德国暴行的可怕故事（一般是编造出的）笼罩住工人骚动的新闻。

没有人能预见到工业化国家有能力连续打几年的仗，即使挥霍尽国家财富也不会垮台。经济学家约翰·梅纳尔·凯恩斯（John Maynard Keynes）是个非常机敏的人，但他也是在有了一年的战争经历后，才理解到全面战争不会导致全面的经济崩溃。他在1915年9月写道：“只要一个国家还有人和货品可供政府用钞票购买，如果人们愿意想用钞票买东西，他们花钞票所带来的消费增量马上就会被价格上扬所阻止。”他的结论是：国家不会因害怕倒闭而停止打仗。只有等到国家的人力枯竭、自然资源耗尽、战斗意志消失后，国家才会停止战争。大战的发展历程完全证明了他的正确。

有 12 万美国护士死在欧洲。

尼古拉还是不同意，萨索诺夫则继续恳求。沙皇深知萨索诺夫要求的分量，生气的大声说道：“想一想你要我担的责任！想一想我要送成千上万的人去死！”

战斗一直延续着，到了五月底，德军的弹药出现短缺，第二次伊佩尔战役终于结束了。德军伤亡四万人，英军则有六万人。“伊佩尔这个屠宰人的深坑毫无利润可赚，”邱吉尔如此称呼这次将挖地道和毒气这两种新手段引入战争的战役。引入毒气，德国人进一步损坏了自己在世界中的形象，美国人更加厌恶德国。理性看，用毒气杀人，与用子弹和刺刀刺穿人体区别不大，也与用炮弹把人炸成碎片区别不大，这些杀人办法并无道德上的差距。然而，在人类感知世界的较深层次上，人类感知到了战争又向恐怖走近了一步，这一步使人类更加野蛮。这不是人类第一次变得野蛮，也将不会是人类野蛮的最后一步，但是，德国人此时看上去最野蛮。
