VOL. 147. NOVEMBER 4, 1914. CHARIVARIA. The _Fremdenblatt_ of Hamburg congratulates itself that "the British campaign of pin-pricks is fast coming to a miserable end." If the reference is to bayonets, our contemporary is in error. * * * A Berlin news agency states that General LEMAN, of Liege, is actually a German. It is characteristic of the Germans to bring an accusation like that against a brave and innocent man in adversity. * * * The _Koelnische Volkszeitung_ records the foundation of a "German Truth Society." We are glad that it is realised over there at last that there is a difference between Truth and German Truth. * * * It is semi-officially announced that the KAISER'S headquarters are now in France. His hindquarters were recently seen in Russia. * * * A detachment of British cavalry, while playing water polo in the Oise, suddenly spotted a patrol of German Uhlans, jumped on their horses naked, and in that state charged the enemy. We understand that a protest has been lodged at the War Office by the British Propriety League. * * * A motor wireless section in Scotland is searching for a mascot and regimental pet, and a Glasgow newspaper invites its readers to supply a suitable animal. What would be wrong with a wireless terrier? * * * Shortly before the outbreak of the war, it is said, the KAISER ordered a Gloucester spotted pig in this country. Later on the shipment of the pig was countermanded. Presumably sufficient pigs had already been spotted in the German army. * * * A pretty tribute to our ability
