THE “CHOSEN” PEOPLE.

GERMAN VIEW OF BRITISH CLAIMS. Professor Arnod Schroor, in an article in the “ Kolnische Zeitung,” says the British suffer from the delusion that they are the chosen people of God, and that they may employ any cunning ; r cruelty so long as it helps them to set up the kingdom of God on earth. The Germans, on the other hand, know themselves to he the "elect of God,’ and that i.s why it is their duty to “smash the English.” An interesting commentary on Germany’s vaunted Christianity is found in the ' "Lokaianzeiger,” which remarks that “Hatred well concentrated, well directed, is a moving Force which destroys the foe even more surely than the weapons of the armoury.” This is how the “Deutsche Tagezeitung” lets off steam “ The English are adorers of money and business. Above these the soul of the average Englishman cannot soar. He is. racially, as incapable of spiritual conception as are his Allies, the Fiii Islanders. The consumption of huge.half raw slices iff hcef three times a day does not tend towards the soiritunlisation of the human mind. The Englishman, therefore, remains what he always was a crude, superficial super-animal.”
