We have all, I suppose, read and marvelled at the wonderful German "song of hate. " This has been so much admired over the water that Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria (who had just stated his bitter hatred of us in a prose army order) distributed copies of the verses to his Bavarians as a stimulant in their long, unsuccessful tussle with our troops at Ypres. In case the reader has forgotten its flavour, I append a typical verse:
/ "We will never forgo our hate. / We have all but a single hate. / We love as one, we hate as one, / We have one foe and one alone -- / ENGLAND."
