The Conservative Kreuz ZeiU ung adopts a somewhat similar line of assertion, and further accuses the English Press and English historians of having largely conduced to this state of affairs by haying sysematicaHy falsified the history of England and abused the confidence of their compatriots— who, says the Kreutz Zeitung, are at heart really noble and great— by making them belie re that England alone is uncohquered and invincible.
