SIDE LIGHTS FROM GERMANY

There is an article Of unusual
complexion in the Leipziger
Abend-Zeitung, dealing with the
need of moderation in the view
taken of England and English
men. In judging Britons, says
the article, hatred is not neces-
sary. 1t only distorts the vision.
The German who sees and recog-
nizes with clear sight that which
is good and acceptable in English
ways is wiser and stronger than
his compatriot who wildly and
without understanding bias
phemes and demolishes.
The writer condemns the Ger
man press, which, with all its ex-
cellent qualities, has failed in this
clear understanding of England
He speaks of a seriously wound
ed German officer who had been
cared for in England and was
among the exchange prisoners
who recently arrived home. The
officer described in detail, in an
article for the press, the tender,
loving care bestowed on him, he
spoke Of the innumerable friendli-
nesses shown him--but not one
solitary German newspaper would
accept his manuscript. A German
cavalry officer narrated moving
incident of how a British soldier
laid cloak gently over him as he
lay wounded On the field in order
to protect him from the rain. And
many another Englishman has
acted in similar fashion.
Would it not be nobler and
wiser, asks the Leipsig journal, to
let such things be published? 1t
is perversion of the true point OF
view when Germans constantly
speak of "the perhdy of King Ed
ward" The king only gave vent
to the hatred of Prussia which he
had inherited. 1t is a perversion
to speak of the scoundrelly Eng
lish statesmen and the mercenary
press in their employ. The real

TO pursue this war any further is
senseless and proftless.
Two days later the journal
wrote: And now the right hon

jubilation OF victory. Grey as
sured himself long ago that crime
will not escape punishment, that a
Nemesis follows in the wake ofthe
wrong-doer. He will very soon
hang his diplomats mantle on a
nail"
The Rundschau unable to re-
'frain from this attractive theme,
returned next day to the fray, and
wrote: "A period has now arrived
for Old England of which the
lords in their club arm chairs bit
