"WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP.'" BRITONS UNDISMAYED AND UNDETERBED. \ London, October 11. Lord Haldane, in a speech at New-castle-on-Tyne, said that the finer qualities of the German race were being degraded to an unworthy purpose, and subjected to the domination of the military spirit, which should be exterminated. Germany might ba admirably prepared, but preparation wore off •gainst people possessing Britain's resources. He did not under-rate the magnitude of the task, but the first shock was over, and tbe real struggle beginning under much less favorable conditions for Germany than in August. Earl Grey said: "We are not going "to stop until we have smashed the German army and navy and the spirit of Prussian militarism." Maeterlinck received an ovation in London. -He remarked that the latest events in the. pitiful story of the little kingdom which kept its pledgo and died for it would cry a'oud 'or ever. Mr Runciman, at Kingsway Hall, ■aid there was no reason to be depressed by the fall of Antwerp, which was inevitable. It had been cabled that the Belgian army would co-operate closely with the Allies in France and Belgium. The German press, who were predicting Zeppelin raids on England, had miscalculated the British character if they thought to frighten people. We had courageous men in our flying corps, and thirteen were pledged to dash their machines through any Zeppelins that came, even if both were dashed to earth. EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.
