"GERMANY HAS PERISHED."
«». BEASTS IN HUMAN FORM. REPATRIATED OFFICER'S LAMENT. An account of the present state of Germany as' seen by a German is supplied in a letter received in Wel- ( lington from a German naval officer who was interned in New Zealand during tlie war. "Your papers had been right," he writes. "Germany has perished. Good old Germany, with its princes and aristocracy, is in the hands of a noiseful mob, and gets terrified number of what you call I.W.W.'s. I call them beasts in human body. Do you know what we are longing for? For your troops "to come over and to bring discipline and civil behaviour to this infamous horde of criminals. I have been a great patriot, and I loved my country more than anything else, but now I am ashamed to be called a German. You were now wrong when yon called them Huns. They have turned into Huns very soon, and will have the same conditions as in Russia—killing each other. The father kills his son and tho son his mother. It is horrible. WmmmmmmmmpmmmmWmmmmWmmU
