ANTI-BRITISH PROPAGANDA.

|MR THOMPSON'S ANIMUS. I A SPIRITED REPLY. > J (BT CABLK—I'RKS) ASSOCIATIOX COPTBIS&T.) | .AUSTRALIA* A.SD K.I. CABLB AtaOOATTOV.) ! (Received Oetober 30th, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, Oetober 28. Sir Hugh Denison, Commissioner for Australia in the United States, addressing women at the George Washington Sulgrave Institution, referring to Mr Wm. Thompson (Mayor of Chicago), said: "It seems a pity that in times of peace and goodwill a man in Chicago should be stirring up racial antagonism that tends to destroy the good feeling which for ten years has grown up between us." Sir Hugh, referring to Senator Borah, said that he was astonished that the head of the Senate Committee, of Foreign Relations was the man who had admittedly never visiting any other country. The most astounding thing was that he persistently refused because of the fear that it would alter his American point of view to go to other countries. [A previous message stated that considerable interest had been aroused in Chicago over the trial of the superintendent of schools, William McAndrew, on charges laid by Mayor Thompson, who is known for his anti-British attitude, that McAndrew was responsible for the dissemination of British propaganda in tho Chicago sehools. A former Judge, Mr Frederick Bausmau, of Seattle, giving evidence, said he found traces of propaganda in the sehools throughout the land. He said that many children did not know the truth about England, which had conquered three former World Powers, Spain, Holland, and France, and that the children did not know that this history had repeated itself against Germany. Mr Bauaman declared that the Rhodes scholarships were, established for the purpose of bringing tho United States back under the British Crown. "I have yet to hear a United States citizen say he wants the United States to annex Canada. Britain is building ships after persuading the United States to stand at 800,000 tons- Britain would blockade the United States at a distance of 2000 miles out at sea."]
