It is the business of the English Press to deal with controversialists of this class. For my part, I wish only to take up the question raised the following terms:-"Have Gorman commanders over arranged to be brought homo and loaded with decorations before the end of the war "To this I would answer that it seems to me exceedingly unwise to challenge by such a question a comparison between Lord Roberts and, let us say, Count von Waldersoe a comparison which, as far as the honours conferred, could only be unfavourable to the German Field-Marshall.

These things, however, would leave me cold, as in the course of the last 23 months I have grown fairly hardened to this daily servaming. Whos specially induces me to regnent the publication of these lines is the charges which have again recently been brought against the British troops of fahaman measures against the non-combatant population.
