BERNHARDI SPEAKS,

BRITAIN THE CAUSE OF ALL GERMANY'S WOES.

Times and Sydney Sun Services.

London, March 24. The Times publishes an article written by General Bernhardi for the New York Sun. Discussing England's entry into the war on the pretext of the violation of Belgium, he said that England simply considered Belgium a vassal State serving as a bulwark for England's position in the Channel. Though nominally neutral, Belgium submitted to the Allies plan to march into Germany to oppose the German right wing with the French masses, Belgians, and 130,000 English, Belgium united herself v/itli our worst enemies undoubtedly under pressure from England, who was in every way responsible for the world war.

General Bcrnhardi continues: "England has kept Ireland in bondage, for centuries and supported France in purifying free Morocco. She has enslaved India and Egypt, and seeks, in conjunction with Russia, to subjugate weak Persia. Yet this 'State claims that a German victory will mean the subjugation of the world. Every discerning and unprejudiced person will recognise ihe hypocritical mask behind which the hides her policy of power and interest. Exactly the opposite Is the case with Germany. A German victory will mean the liberation of the world from the English yoke and the commercial rights of the world from being controlled by the blockade of British cannon. English navalism hangs like a sword of Damocles, suspended above all peoples possessing a coast or transoceanic colonies succeptible of attack. England is now ruthlessly ridiculing international law and violating public opinion by spreading false information through her cable monopoly. America n not free from this violation, as the entire telegraphic system with Europe is subject to the British censor. AH "Renter's dispatches are colored in, keeping with British policy. "Germany is compelled to fight, not only for her own freedom, but to struggle for the liberty of the Old World from the English yoke. In the event of a victory for the entente, England's chains will fetter all free movement in Europe, and her rule of the sea. will become more oppressive and her monopoly of trade be used to a sharper extent to eonientrate the treasures of the world upon the British money market. France and Russia will then realise that they have fought England's battles and not their own."
