United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copy right).
(Received this dnv nt 10 n.m.) LONDON, Nov. 19
Following a fine welcome given Hassagan, this cry from “a Liverpool mother” is featured by the “Daily Express.”—“l try to be fair. German mothers suffered just as I did. My two younger sous were drowned at sea six months apart. They were on merchant ships sunk by submarines without a single chance. My eldest bov was killed in France. 1 now read that a German submarine officer is having a wonderful time in London, The newspapers say he is a brave man as he must have been, hut my sons were brave too. They were all I had in the world. T hate war and I hope the Germans will be friends of the English, but all I know is my sons were drowned without a. chance. Some officer like Hassagan watched them drown. It makes us seem we were fools to give our sons just to fight against fine fellows who can come over afterwards and he cheered.”
