We desire to express not only our sympathy but our

admira- tion for the editor of the Amsterdam Telegraaf, who has been prosecuted and actually imprisoned because he has dared to speak the truth about Germany, and to support the cause of the Allies. Herr von Kuhlmann, who once fluttered his Wm- formed and scented handkerchief so freely in the faces of London society, while he showed them how sweetly and innocently the German iamb accepted the bullying of the cruel French wolf, is understood to have spared no sort of effort, and to have used threats as well as cajoleries to get the Dutch Government to suppress the Telegraaf.
