Berlin, April 21.-Herr Wilhelm Lieb-

a letter from Mr.. Michael Davitt, Union
ist member of the British Parliament for
South Mayo. in which the writer says
he is able to confirm from his own knoWl-
edge the charges recently brought in the
London Truth against the London Mis-
sionary Society by Mr.. Lloyd Osborne,
step-son of the late Robert l.. Stevenson,
who characterized the society's antagOn-
ism to Mataafa, Roman Catholic. as
''the whole cause of the quarrel in Sa-

Mr. Davitt describes Chief Justice
Chambers as ''nominally an American,
but in reality an Englishman, who is
anxious to promote an Anglo-American
alliance"
He expresses hatred of England and
warns the Germans against making Il
nation answerable for the blama-worthy
attitude of one or two persons.
'All the trouble" says Mr.. Davltt, IS
due to English intrigues. You may roy

part of the record, and are as fol-
lows:

GERS have any knowledge of it or means
of knowledge?
WAS it the meat commerce?

IF the officers of the commisary de-
partment are guilty it must be known.
If any officer of the army is guilty it
