GERMANY AND ENGLAND.

[To THE EDIT011 OF THE "SPECTATOR.1 SrE,—Your correspondent " Germanicus " in his letters always speaks of Germany as " us " and assumes that "us," i.e., Germany, endorses his absurd Incubrations. If an Arab rising such as he anticipates did ever occur in the Asiatic provinces, the first thing that rising would do would be to push every German out of Anatolia and Syria. "The Prussian system does not leave anything to chance," says " Germanicus." If that be so, the Zeppelin ships, of which " Germanicns" boasts so much, would have quite enough to do to bring back Germans beleaguered in Asia to their native land. The establishment of good relations between Germany and Great Britain is a question of supreme importance to the civilized world, and should be discussed with knowledge, reason, and moderation. Blatant ignorance and nonsense, however laugh- able in themselves, ought not to be allowed access to this important sphere of international politics.—I am, Sir, &a., GEORGE HAMILTON.
