by cable—press association- copyrhigt Received Nov. 2, Noon. LONDON, Nov. 1.
Mr. A. A. Ponsonby, M.P., in a letter to the current issue of The Nation, alleges that he has proved, with the assistance of an ex-Gorman general, that the ex-Kaiser’s famous phrase, ‘ Contemptible Little Army,” as applied to the British forces, was merely another fabrication. The general unsuccessfully ransacked all his official files, also wrote to the exKaiser, who replied that lie ncvei de* iivered such a speech; on the contrary, ho continually emphasised the high value of the British Army, and repeatedly warned liis staff against underestimation. —Sjulney Sun Cables.
