On the contrary; I continually emphasised the high value of the British army, and repeated gave warning against underestimating it.” GERMAN “CORPSE FACTORY” “CRUEL, POISONOUS FORGERY” STRESEMANN’ . Published in “The Times." LONDON, November 1. Herr Stresemann, in a letter to the newspaper “Dispatch,” says that Germany created during the war establishments, to utilise the carcases of animals for industrial purposes.
