WOMEN IN GERMANY.

[To TILE EDITOR OF TILE "SPECTATOR"] Sin,—From the year 1886 to 1911 I have at intervals stayed in Germany. At Minden, Elberfelcl, and Dresden I have been in homes of various kinds, and my experience has been that the Germans compared exceedingly favourably with the people of most other European nations in truthfulness and honesty. I have only had to do with the middle or working classes, and have no experience of the professional military. At a time when Germany as a nation has to answer for so much that is terrible, it seems well that we should recognize the varied elements that make up a great nation. I agree with your correspondent (Spectator, August 14th) as to the overbearing treatment of women by men of the middle dims.
