"GOD PUNISH ENGLAND"
INTENSITY OF GERMAN HATE. (Rec. April 8, 5.50 p.m.) London, April 7. A neutral correspondent- says that many people in Germany honestly believe everything tliat they are told about a gulf between Franco and England, and that it is not unlikely that France will soon conclude peace and turn against Britain. The bulk of the i Germans are getting so fascinated with this glorious hope that they almost love France. Words utterly fail to express the bitterness of their hatred for England. It is deeply rooted in tho national mind. The mere mention of Britain is enough to throw any man into a frenzy of hatred almost sublime in its intensity and extent, and it is often ridiculous. "Entering a hovso in Cologne," he says, "I heard a four-year-old child teaching a parrot to say: 'Gott punish England!' Tho child's mother said that her littlo girl had promised her father, who had gone to tno front, always to hate England, and never to speak to an Englishman. Children throughout Germany have been taught various ways in which to hate England."—"Times" and Sydney "Sun". Services.
