“BRITISH CHIVALRY” AND SELF-ADVERTISEMENT

Count Eeventlow, in an article beaded “British Chivalry and Self-Adver-tisement” in the Deutsche Tages Zeitung” complains that the German Press recently went so far as to admit that fhe British sometimes are chivalrous to an enemy. This he considers insufferable. The count is angered particularly because the German papers expressed satisfaction at the manner in which the famous German airman. Captain Baron von Richthofen, was buried by the British, and says; “Wo cannot accept these so-called honours as sincere. It is all advertisement. Our enemies forgot to tell us what enormous sums they received for ■bringing- down Richthofen. All members of the Flying Corps who buried our hero arc nothing but war profiteers. ’ ’
