DEGREES HATRED OF GERMj

BURLINGHAM, England, Oct. 4.--
 Viscount Bryce. in an address before the Congregational Union last night sounded new note in the sentiment
 of England toward the great Euro
 pean struggle, and the fact that it
 was received without material oppo- sition indicates that the sentiment
 throughout the country is steadily undergoing a change, and outside of
 the ultra military class the hatred of
 Germany engendered during the ear ly months of the struggle, is disap-
 bearing. The address of Viscount
 Bryce was plea for sanity with re- gard to nations now fighting the Ell tente allies. He decried the attempts to stir up hatred against Germany and the advocacy of trade warfare against that nation after the present struggle. He strongly advocated the
 formation of a powerful league to restrain aggression between nations and to compell the submission to ar bitration of all differences that may arise. He declared that we might well despair for the future if recurrence of such war as the present one should be possible. The speaker laud- ed the utterances of President Will son and Hughes favoring permanent peace He declared that the first step the elimination Of all hatred, and the sooner this was accomplished the bet ter for the whole world.
