GERMANY AND BRITAIN.
LTO THE EDITOR Or THE "SPECTATOR.") Sin,—Would it be unfair to say that the general tendency of your writings is to show "that Germany is determined to de stroy Great Britain, that the way to meet the peril is to arm more strongly, and that the British public must bo impressed with the peril" P If we have our Mackays, our Heiderichs, out Stiegers, our "Look Outs," and so forth, Great Britain can boast of " educators " like you, Sir, like Mr. Maxse, Mr. Spenser Wilkinson, Mr. Ellis Barker, Dr. Dillon, to mention only a few /300 aya001. Both sets of mentors are, without doubt, equally sincere in their beliefs and—equally wrong, doing with the best intentions but the devil's work. —I am, Sir, &c., 159 Brixton Hill. 0. GA.urp.

[We do not believe, as wo have often said, that the German democracy desires to dominate this country, and we know that our democracy does not wish to injure or destroy Germany. Here, however, the people is master, and its will cannot be gainsaid. In Germany the democracy is powerless. Not its will but the will of the ruling caste prevails. And that ruling caste regards Britain as an obstacle to its acquisi- tion of world power. Hence there are dangers for us which have no counterpart in the case of Germany.—En. Spectator.]
