IyONDON, May 28. The German Socialist newspaper "Vorwarts" denies that there has been any abatement of the "hatred campaign." It quotes the following passage from a pamphlet published in

Munich:—"Let us have education ia hatred, in love of hatred, and in organisation of hatred. Away with immature fear of brutality and fanaticism. I-iet us adopt politically the motto: 'Tho more smacks, the fewer kisses.' Wo must not hesitate to declare blasphemously that to us is given Faith, Hope, and Hatred, but the greatest of these is Hatred."
