THAT BRUTAL ASSAULT

Dear "Truth,"— l noticed m last Wednesday's dally papers that a young man under the Influence of alcohol at Dunedin had abused and knocked an old woman of 70 years about, and am surprised and disgusted as a Britisher to know that he got but two months' Imprisonment for such an awful offence. Judging by the said case we surely are not justified m scoffing at German "Kultur" when some of our own culture Is rotten. Surely, no German, even one maddened by war and wine, has ever committed a more cowardly and brutish deed. I wonder If the old woman's sons or grandsons are fighting for our glorious Empire. If anyone had treated my mother or grandmother bo I fear that I would not be looking for Germans and Turks, but rather would be looking for human justice to the weak and agod. — Yours, etc., REAL. BRITISH JUSTICE. Auckland.
