"FRENCH'S CONTEMPTIBLE LITTLE ARMY."

PTO TIM EDITOR Or THE "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—In Monday's Times, p. 6, it is now denied officially from Berlin that an Army Order was ever issued by the Kaiser in which contempt was expressed for the army of General French. In your comment on my letter in your issue of October 17th you pointed out that the previous denial was only semi-official, but the main point is that no proof what- ever has yet been forthcoming of such an Army Order having been issued.—I am, Sir, Svc., F. R. CAVE. Bath.
