lord derby was asked whether tho ground gained in the recent british advance was worth the losses of men lord derby said there is no question about it he paid tribute to the prussians who he said were fighting like tigers but their confident spirit was incomparable with the british regarding the length of the war lord derby said that any one who named a specific time could only be described as a fool but that the next two weeks ought to see great things achieved what will you do with the kaiser if you get him lord derby was asked i cannot say but i promise he wont be able to do any more harm

an end to this thing called ger man kultur i realize and always have done so that the united states is overwhelmingly proally i can also understand that there must be a certain amount of friction
