English Press Opinions.
Received November 23, 8.47 a.m. LONDON, November 23. The Times is astonished at the North German Gazette's unfairness in refraining to quote and misrepresenting Mr Chamberlain, who, with the whole Government and nation, indignantly repudiate the accusations of cruelty, and had simply enumerated the measures taken in previous wars in different countries as severer than those adopted by Great Britain. He had not admitted these countries had done anything wrong* The sensitiveness of the Germans was' not justified by anything Mr Chamberlain said. t We, continue the Times'", equally with 1 the Germans, were entitled to guard our honour and resent the hateful, poisonous calumnies and belief that the war was conducted ferociously, and protest against the propaganda of mendacity and malignity in generating " international illfeeling. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-man's denunciation of the methods of barbarism furnished a pretext 'for the ill-wishes. , The Standard and Chronicle warn Germany of the danger of tolerating unlicensed abuse of England. The Daily News says the German Government has driven an unusual course, and is conscious it cannot afford to put itself wrong with the opinion powerfully and angrily expressed. The agitation is doubtless conducted with some - justice against the British Army.
