GERMAN SONG OF HATE.
A BRITISH REPLY. The "Spectator" publishes the following reply to Lissauer's "Song of Hate";--Ming, Ccrnians. sing your song of frenzied hate ; Your song or you we neither love nor hate; What we despise we neither love nor hate. We held you kin, though somewhat 'Mess than kind" ; We thought a Herman kept his plighted troth; We thought a Herman's work was worth bis oath. We smiled serenely at the superhuman. He seemed an after echo of Sedan. We called you brave; you still can light but brave! Not since your honour's buried in file grave Willi women, children, age, and wounded brave. Whom e'en the sacred Red Crow could not save, Wo know our foe unworthy of our steel ; Contempt for Hermans—that is v»hal i wo feel, Sing. Hermans, sing your song of frenzied hate ; •'The Day" has dawned, and we with calmness wait : What we despise we neither love i-.or hate. A. M. .MTLLRY.
