COMMENT ON GERMANS.
SIR lAN HAMILTON. "I am perfectly sure that if any tiger shooting is indulged in in Europe I would rather go shooting with Germans than with any of the others,” said Sir lan Hamilton, addressing the Publicity Club at Glasgow, on November 12.
Sir lan explained that a few days ago he would not have referred to war, but lie had received a mysterious message, alleged to be from the late J. resident Hindenburgj which a former British officer said was given him at a seance. Sir lan read the message in which Hindenburg appealed for peace. “I do not care two hoots bow the Germans govern themselves,” said Sir lan, “but, speaking purely from a professional point of view, I say that, while nobody- wants to shoot any more tigers, if they have got to be shot let us be on the side of-those who can hold a gun steady and shoot straight.”
