AUTHOR of hymn of hate BERLIN,; Sept, 16. Ernest Lissauer, the author of the famous war-time Hymn of Hate, explains that he wrote the’poem in good faith, believing that England desired to stranglo' Germany. Since then he has learned better, and now that ho should have expressed his anxiety in a song of love for Germany rather than in a song of hate against England. It Ls painful, he says, to have his name allied with ideas of death 1 and destruction, for he believes that a new war would mean tho annihilation of Western culture.
