STANHOPE THRASHED.

TRAITOR PUMMELLED BY A GERMAN. / . I • ...... i - COPENHAGEN. I Aubrey Stanhope, the pro-German • .traitor who is employed by the Ger- j man Government to edit the Contincn- I tal Times, was publicly thrashed a few ] days ago in the American bar of the ! Hotel Bristol, Unter-den-Linden, Berlin. The assailant who administered this chastisement to Stanhope was a German, who first called him a “dirty English dog” and a “dirty rogue,” anct then proceeded to pummel him with ! his fists and finally with a stick. Stan- I hope was knocked down and badly I bruised on the head, his face was cut j open, bis body also bore many marks I of the punishment. > It is a pleasant irony of fate that ' the only Englishman definitely known to be in the employ of Germany should I be thus thrashed by a German. LONDON, Nov 23. j The Continental Times professes to ; he “an independent cosmopolitan news | paper, published in the interest of Americans,” but it is really a rabidly anti-English sheet, subsidised by the German Government, and full of foul gibes on the Allies. Stanhope’s badly-written diatribes ■ are really funny in their grotesque I stupidity. \
