HATRED OF ENGLAND.

FROM GERMAN SOURCES. Since war begin nothing has so roused the Geniiiili"pi'bss/as the' interning of civilian Germans (says the London “Daily Telegraph”). Bb much has already been noted. Blit every arrival of German newspapers shows that the feeling is growirig to a frenzied condition. For esamplb, tile “Hamburger Frombenblatt” declares that the lack of '& reply' to the announcement made on October 30 that all Englishmen between 17 and oo resident in Germany would be in. tered unless the British Government would release all similar Germans in England, had “roused a righteous! storm of indignation in the deepest strata of our social life. . . Our enemy. . . is.blind to the immense fate of these days, and docs not grasp the fact ‘ that the question is one of the very existence of the whole of the German being and of its future. With Germany we stand or we fall. Germany’s triumph is for all of us a new life.” There follow on this certain references to the millions of German property in English banks. But, it is asked, “Where are these millions if we fail? They are gone, whether we worry or not. And in any case what are they against the blood of our brothers which flows in streams, and in comparison with the suffering and the contempt which England’s chilly hatred against all that is German heaps on us to suffocate us?. . . Does a German’s word count or not? Are we to become a nation of lacqueys or of men who shall compel the attention of the world?. . . Our very blood boils when we see the cold, contemptuous faces of these English. Now it is war. Nothing but war, in all ways, on all sides, and with all means. . .

This England herself has taught, and will herself learn, if God will, soon. if God will, already to-day!” ENGLAND AS ALLY. Under this title the “General Anzeiger” issues a rhetorical outburst against England, pointing to “the inadequacy of her soldiery, the Deprivation of her supreme sea-power, the Pan-Slav danger, Egypt’s menace. the South African need, the protest of neutrals” —all of which, says the journal, “drive the haughty, imperious nation now info a mental state bordering on doubt. NViur Hie English press is' at last awaking to the fact that the British nation, ‘like a sleeper in a burning house,’ is beginning to see that the war is for her a question of existence or nonexistence.” Finally, the journal begins to express its ‘pity’ for France and Belgium!”
