A PREACHER OF VENGEANCE,

Not long ago we had to report that the Head Master of Eton Dr. Lyttelton, had made himself distinctly unpopular at Home by an ill-timed and ill-judged appeal to Britishers to love their enemies "-otherwise the Germans-and to onltivate a forgiving spirit towards them. And now we bova comething that is very much 'the opposite extreme, ia na article by Mr. Horatio Bottomley, of City and John Bull fame. In it he cries aloud for vengeance, and breathes forth threatenings and slaughter without end against the Kaiser and everything that is his. Much of the article may strike some readera as not being in the best taste; mach, again, is good sound sense. As for the rest, it may be called the excusable catpouring of a mán of robust mind rendered justly angry and impatient by the softness, gentimentality and easy-goingdess of his generation.

Mr. Boitsmley calls for a vendetta; hang the pirates and intern all Germans still at large, he shouts. Take down the Kaiser's banuer from St. George's Chapel (which has since been done, by the way) and establish a permanent blood-feud. He would put into the feld an army of Zalus and Basutoe and other native and half civilised tribes, and let them run amok in the enemy's ranke." Here one foals that he allows his enthusiasm to ran away with him. Those who have over scou an unruly mob of natives subdued by a handful of white men know how much opportunity the Zalus would hare of going antok among the trained German troops. The idea might be excellent if it were practical. Getting cooler, Mr. Bottomley advocates (and why not?) the seizure of all German property in British territory and of all interned vessels; then, waxing hotter than ever after his brief spell of moderation, he breaks forth once more into a fierce catalogue of Prussiau vices and a parallel list of the things that we ought to do to the German when we have foally vanquished him.
