sands OF lives of German heroes
Several Of the Austrian and Hunga-
rian newspapers are following the lead OF
their German contemporary es. and the
Neue Freic Prcssc Of Vienna Is one OF
those most bitterly opposed to England.
Discussing Premier Asquith's speech this
paper says:
The money which Prime Minister As
quith asks for has moi been able To brinr

England's allies. Take Belgium. Had

Another violently anti British editorial
is contained In the most recent issue OF
the F%rankfnrter Zeifumg to reach Lon
don. An extract follows:
1.-THE Englishman wants TO destroy
you. your work and your welfare. for
he hates YOU with the hatred OF his
MASTER. Satan. because he hates every
thing and everybody stronger than him
self. and German WORK and production
became too strong for him.

understandable longing for peace you
