NEW GERMAN COLOURS.
Black, red, and gold, as already announced, have been adopted aa the colours of "New Germany." Vice-Admiral Paul Bshnc-ke, writing in the Junker Kreuz Zeitung, protests against the revival of the coloors of the revolutionary Prussia of 1848, declaring : . " .
"They oiler us bait slight spiritual values. Their history was short and not over glorious. They remind us of the grievous time in 1849 when Lord Palmerston could declare. that ships sailing under these colours would be treated as pira,tes, and when the warships' of the Bund {Grorniaa League) which flew this flag were sold by auction. All these recollections'do not encourage any return to those times. Such a return ivpuld also be mistaken from the standpoint of development, .since- in spirit everything in New Gormany is being erected on the 'foundations of the Bismaickian. Empire, and not' on- those of the old German. .Band."i
