A X I MOSIT V IS I'XiiltATKFl'l.. (omit N-nil-rg Sa t lie True Kiu-ni ot KiioIhikI I Ui- ' in;; in tli cl. NEW YORK, Feb. 5-Count Adel berg Sternberg, who took part In the Boer campaign, and who declares that the treatment he hus received from the British press and official and non;-otfU-lal Englishmen leave him no cause to be an Anoslopbjte. has "writ ten a letter to the London Times;' says the London correspondent of the New York Times in which he say that while England is hated, the English man Is respect and loved. The hatred always arises from a senw of moral and mental injury and to this extent the continent has a right to hate England, because her policy Is at all times directed to pro moting continental complications. The continent does not understand the Boer war and attacks England po litical morality because It misunder stands the political principle which England represents, the principle which made England' greatness po litical egotism. The economic advantage to be de rived from the gold fields, say Count Sternberg, was merely a contributory cause of the South African war. The real cause, making action Imperative. was the English principle the essence of which is free trade and straight forward competition. On the contin ent this feeling Is not understood, be cause the continent does not enjoy the blessings of a chilixatlon and a gov ernment based on the word "straight." Count Sternberg ewys he always thought England was the enemy of that continent until he visited the United States and studied the economic conditions there. He now believes that the continental hatred of Eng land is ungrateful, and that the con tinent ought to awake and recognise that Its true enemy is arising in the west, like a great sun of gold whose first rays already have been projected across the Atlantic. Germany and all Europe should join with England. St. Louis, Feb. ist, 1902. .
