PRO-GERMANS.

[to the editor.]

gir,—l note with satisfaction^ that :airoarciitly a movement.is spreading for the purpose of placing a check on the unbridled license of language taken by -a number of the un- ■ regenerate aliens in ' the. Dominion when referring to the Empire and the - troops fighting : for it. \; In" "my and 1 venture to say the opinion of m\ great majority. of■ the residents of the Dominion, the , time lias now arrived when these Germans, naturalised and unnaturalised, should be taught, that,, even if they do sympathise with' their. \babv-kilbng. Jriends and'barbaric compatriots, it would oe> ''vria&r to keep silent, as at the present moment the public is not in the humor to allow themj in.'their ft.rrogauce > free- latitude to insult the Empire and the flag-under which they 'fcave lived in such security. It is '•unfortunate ih:ii we have even in- our owii district one or more of these sympathisers with the Kaiser and his 'hVutal hordes of latter-day Huns. of these friends of the child ir.aiilators, even \ as late as Saturday la:.it, was heard to. remark (in Market ■'Square) to an apparently sympathetic a-!clionc<? of two, "Der Garmans was \£L*htiug dor .seoom of der vorld, b»t. dey could not shtop dem." This ■:etatomehfr was typically Germain in ■ its'" deliberate falsity in^ every way, and perhaps 'hardly, worthy of notice Tbut that ;this same .individual , has more than; o-Rce-.' when he thought it raife, given, vent to expressions showTing his venom against the British; and yet this man has lived for years in the Dominion and made money Tinder the flae which he would now -no doubi? gladly see torn down; and trampled cm. by his fellow-Germans. "Let mo&ure the individual in question that Jie will; never, see that, but if he livee> a ■ little longer he will be able to lear£-.that, a German will soon vfos> to the* ciVitised races am. object for pitiable contempt, and the misfor"tuae to be bo:cn one the-greatest that ■ctmi fall on a fey human being.
