[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.'
Sut,—As one who has no time to master the refinements of political intrigue, and has no desire to indulge at this or any other time in the pastime of party polities, I would ask you two questions. (1) Which man in the present British Parliament do the Germans most cordially fear and hate ? (2) Why P—I am, Sir, &o.,
[Our correspondent no doubt wishes us to say "Mr. Lloyd George "; but for our part we think it unwise to believe literally all that the Germans ask us to believe. It is not their habit to tall us truthfully their likes and dislikes. Although we are in doubt as to which British statesman is most disliked by the Germans, we feel no hesitation in saying that if the strategy set forth in the Paris speech had been adopted by the British Army, and (here had been a much smaller British force than there actually was to-resist the German onset on March 21st, the most popular British statesman in Germany would undoubtedly have been Mr. Lloyd George.—En. Spectator.]
