FROM GERMAN PAPERS.

Even as the waters from a- mineral spring cause the death of him avlio cannot assimilate them, so the Avar destroys tho nation of feeble moral digestion, but heals and rejuvenates tho German people, avlioso natural virility , remains unimpaired.—Tagliche Rundschau.

Unless Heaven be Avith tho builders of the house, they labour in vain Avho build it. Unless it lie leavened with the German spirit, the cii-ilisation of the world will not stand. —Kreuzzeitung. Grant that the Avar may, teach tho Germans the much needed lesson that mixed or mongrel races cannot be expected to appreciate German Kultur or to change their lifo aspects in conformity Avith it.—Hamburger Nachrichten.

The submarine question occupies the Tagliche Rundschau: From the depth 5 into which the English have sunk our' submarine U29 with her creAV shall arise the avengers. In the meantime it becomes a question as to whether Captain Weddigen and his ship have not really been sacrificed to our too humane system of Avarfare. NVhy, too, do not tho English indulge in their habitual enuring over tho ship which succeeded in bringing co feared a foe to destruction? Why are they silent about the hoiv, when, and where of this piece of heroism? Have they, porhaps, some good reason to be aahamed of their deed ? In accordance, with tho dangerous custom of our II boats, U29 risked her oavh safety in order to rescue the croAvs of the enemy ships. Can it be that the feared German boat was surprised in this humane action, and that thus her captain's chiyalroueness brought about his own destruction? Probably this was the case, and hence the unaccountable silence of the English Admiralty concerning tho circumstances attending tho sinking of U29. Whatever ground, however, the English may have to rejoice at tho reeulte of such a shameless action against a chivalrous foe, their rejoicing will be short-lived, for a formidable fleet of U boats is almost in readiness to take up the work of the noble captain of U29.
