THE GERMAN IN CHINA.
The following verses were inspirthe German Minister, Rear-Admiral von ITintz, was a typical piece of German bombast. He wrote; — “Our work, in honour, and for the benefit of, our country has been, temporarily, brought to a standstill by an explosion of the world-wide political hurricane. Unprotected as we are, we are anticipating, without anger or hatred, but with happy foresight, the day that will come later on. Our Emperor, our country, and our consciences are the .judge of the sacrifices we have suffered, and also of the gifts that the genius of our race has offered to this country. May (lie Almighty God, on Whose altar we place the laurels of our victories, and from Whose bosom we create new strength and perseverance, lake all the Germans ’in China under his protection.”
