HUNS : ANOTHER PROTEST.
PTO THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR."1 SIR,—May I venture to add another word of protest against the attitude of mind to which " S. 0. S." refers in his letter to the Spectator of last Saturday P It can add nothing to the rightness of our cause, nor to its ultimate assured triumph, to belittle the Germans' contributions to philosophy and science, before this sad war cheerfully acknowledged, and to ban their music; to speak, as a certain garrulous young lady interested in the woman suffrage question does in a recent issue of her paper, of the "barbouroaa German language"; or to stigma- tise their trade-malls, as the compilers, presumably cultivated people, of the truly wonderful manifesto which found a place
last week in the canine of more than one of our great daily papers do. as the "Iffark of the Beast." These things are not anti-German ; they are anti-Christian and anti-common-sense, and are altogether unworthy of the great and large-minded people we English know ourselves to be.—I am, Sir, &c., A. M. A.
