MR CHARLES CHAPLIN.
PATRIOTISM CONDEMNED. DAYS OF STRUGGLE RECALLED. (iJXITKD rP.ITSS ASSOCIATION - —BX ELECTRIC TELEGHAPH— COPYRIGHT.) (Received May 11th, 11.52 p.m.) ■ * LONDON, May 11. Mr Charles Chaplin in an interview with the "Daily Express'' says: "Patriotism is the greatest form of insanity from which the world has ever suffered. People say X have a duty to England, but 17 years ago I slaved and starved there for a few shillings a week. I have been alt oyer Europe in recent months, and patriotism is rampant everywhere. The result is tliat there is going to be another war. I hope they will put the old men in the front next time. Old men are the real criminals in Europe to-day. Europe has misunderstood and bullied me. I am moderately rich, and I don't care a hang if I never make another film."
