CRUEL POISONOUS FORGERY. ' DR. STRESEMANN'S LETTER, i (Received 10.30 a.m.) j LONDON, November 1. ■ Dr. Stresemann, in a letter to the newspaper "Weekly Dispatch," says that Germany created wartime establishments to utilise the carcases of animals for industrial purposes.

CONTEMPTIBLE LITTLE ARMY. I WAS IT AN INVENTION ? (Received 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, November 1. Mr. A. A Ponsonby, M.P.. in a letter to the current issue of "The Nation," alleges that he has proved, with tlie assistance of a German ex-general, that the Kaiser's famous phrase, "Contemptible little army," as applied to the British farces, was merely another fabrication. The general unsuceessfullv ransacked the Press and official files. He also wrote to the Kaiser, who replied that he had never delivered such a speech. On the contrary, he continually emphasised the high value of tbe British Army, and repeatedly warned his staff against underestimation.— ("Sun.")
