GERMAN PIRACY
MENACES WORLD
Says James Bryce, Former British
Ambassador To the United
States.
LONDON, May 12.—James Bryce,
former British ambassador to the
United States, in an address here
last night, asserted that German pi
racy menaced the world and that if
the kaiser's government should, by
any means, win the present war all
the world would be held under the
military rule of a despot.
Bryce pointed with pride to the
fact that the British colonies were
firmly standing with the mother
country in the present war, indicat
ing that the colonial policy of Great
Britain was founded upon right and
proper policies and had won the sup
port of the people of the colonies.
The ambassador praised the Boers,
who he said a little over ten years
ago fought the British empire bit
terly, but today were leading in the
fight to maintain the territorial in
tegrity of the South African union,
which, he asserted, indicated clearly
that Great Britain’s policy towards
the colonies was founded oh right
principles.
