ENGLAND BLAMED
OPINION IN GERMANY
AVERSION TO LAWRENCE
'Times" Cables,
LONDON, 28th January. The "Times" Berlin correspondent reports that, despite availablo information, tho Gorman newspapers, almost without exception, blame England for Afghanistan's troubles. In the first place they accuse her of unseating Amanullah for a pro-British Brother, and next accomplish the remarkable feat of blaming her for the Baccha coup. Colonel Lawrence continues to be the pet aversion of the anti-British organs. The "Kreuz Zeitung" says that Lawrence told the hereditary Princes that they would disappear without leaving a trace unless they rejected Amanullah. The "Vossisehe Zeitung" declares that_ though Lawrence has gone, "Britain's wheels revolve as smoothly as ever."
Statements from the German Foreign Office doprecato tho attacks, pointing out that the charges were unfounded, but only one newspaper 1 publishes the facts, adding: "The reports current throughout Germany emanate from Bolshevik sources. It is regrettable that whenever anything happens in the East up goes the cry, 'There's England's hand.' "
