A pro- Boer German woman living in
Germany: The British soldiers were
not guilty of the least excess when
they took the town, and l may say at
once that Tommy Atkins is a very
much maligned and illuminated per-
son. If he really is nothing but the
scum of the British nation, as detract-
ors of England assert, then. indeed,
the English have good reason to be
proud, and even to show that supercil-
ious manner which some of them affect
and which makes them unpopular in
foreign countries. The behavior of
the British soldiers from the COM
mencement of the war was simply OK
emplary and unexceptionable. The al
which they are charged are simply
lies (Tendenzlngen), as everybody In
this town could see. These good ma

don't need to resort to litigation. 1t is
not uncommon in this country for a
man to deny his statements when he
finds he has talked too much, yet such
denial is not credited. When a respon-

with a denial, the people generally size
