DOWNING GERMANY.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."] ria,—All the peace messages on earth do not alter the fact that Germany ought to be downed. The enclosed cheque for five hundred dollars is part of my little tap to help the good work.— [Our correspondent is the gallant American lady and friend of Britain who last year sent us £200 for a similar purpose. We are glad to be able to tell her that her money and that of a British male reader who followed her example have been laid out in stimulating acts of war. We cannot, however, publish details till the war is over.—ED. Spectator.]
