A London correspondent writes: — German papers complain about the black warfare that is being conducted against them. Among tbe worst offenders in the nigger line are til a Australian and Maori troops. Some of the former are armed with poison spears and arrows, while the Maori contingents face the noble Turk with blow-pipes.'which'-emit the deadliest of darts. I have seen pictures in the illustrated German weeklies which represent the Australian soldier as a black fellowwearing a huge head-dress of cookatoo feathers, and carrying among other weapons a 7ft assegai. The majority of Germans, despite their alleged system of education, are the most gullible people Oii'earth. The Englishman is harder to bluff. Indeed, I have not yet met an; educated Britisher who takes his newspaper quite seriously, although one occasionally meets wellbred- people who believe that Australians are a bit curly-haired.
