LOVE OF ENGLAND.

The German Pre£s is devoting much 1 space to reviling Britain. A very mild ( example from the columns of the 1 “Magdeburger 2eitung” reads as fol- 1 lows:—“The success of British diplomacy has hitherto been largely the out- 1 come of that special species of fin- ] esse which has been aptly called the wisdom of the serpent. In "the employment of that sort of deception the 1 British have been most skilful, and by its i means they hypnotised other people -into acquiescence whenever a fresh piece of piracy was contemplated in some hitherto unappropriated corner of the earth. This astute cunning is. now forsaking the sons of Albion } as is shown by the monumental tactlessness with which they are acting. They thought, these haughty brow-beaters of the world, that they could’cajole Turkey to make common cause with them in this campaign of immeasurable greed against Germany. And how did they proceed in order to obtain a fresh dupe By the senseless method of heaping insult on the Khedive of Egypt, a land which is tributary to Turkey, but over which the British

' now lord it as if’it were their very own. Naturally the Porte would not lift a finger to aid Britain, even though she were plunged, where she soon will be, in the inextricable mud and slime of the ocean-bed which German shot and shell holds in preparation for her. The day of those deluded people is , dawning. German might shall hurl this Satan-begotten crew of tyrants | into the abyss that is yawning already to receive it, and then Islam and Cliris- , tianity will be enabled to march side by • side in the path of true culture.” Read . 1 in the light of the overwhelming proofs . of German treachery, comment is need- . less.
