|WHY BRITISH TOMMY
HATES THE GERMANS
Says 'Fritzie Doesn't Eight
cIean'' and Cites tricks"
That Are "Dirty."
STORIES OF ATROCITIES
BY HERBERT COREY.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD. November 26.-"'Es a
stin fighting man. Fritzie is." says the
Briton. II give I'm that. But e don't
fight clean. 'Es dirty. Fritzis is."
Perhaps hate" is not precisely the
word to use. Perhaps It is moro a slow
and enduring distate that nils the Brit
ish soldier to the very soul. When q
German hates he likes to hire . hall
and bite his whiskers and throw foam
in public. A Frenchman is dramatic. An
American, whether from Canada or the
states, Is more volatile in temperament
than is his British neighbor. He talks
moro of his emotions and shows more
Of them. Mr.. Atkins seems rather en-
barrassed by his feelings. He some
times wears an apologetic smile when
he explains that he dislikes boches. His
attitude seems to be that he is engaged
In very unpleasant job, and there is
no use making fuss about it.
The good-fellow attitude of the men
on both sides was constant during the
Christmas English and German soldiers
met quite openly between the trenches
and exchanged the small gifts of bot
ties of beer and chocolate and sausage
that were in their power to give. The
attitude Of the men on both sides SEEM
ed to be that, inasmuch as they were
not responsible for the war, there was
no reason why they should hate each
other,
