KICKS AT HEROES IN HISTORY
LORD RAGLAN’S OUTBURST SEQUEL TO ATTACK ON “PEDIGREE FAKERS” United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, October 26. Lord Raglan, who startled the Anthropological Section of the British Association by the revelations in connection with ‘ pedigree fakers," made a running kick at the heroes in history, in addressing the Society of Friends. He said Scottish children were taught that the atrocious ruffian, William Wallace, was a chivalrous hero, which was deplorable. They must revise the teaching regarding such monsters of cruelty as Moses, Joshua and David, whose atrocities exceeded those alleged against the Germans in the World War. Children were brought up to believed the Englishman superior to the Frenchman, *he European superior to the Asiatic. These were mischievous falsehoods. The Oriental was no more inscrutable than the grocer. The savage is less childlike than the test match enthusiast.
