BRITISH GENERAL A GERMAN, BERLIN SAYS

Copenhagen.—Much space is devoted by the Berlin press to General Freyberg, the youthful New Zealander, who recently was placed in command of a British brigade and prompted to the rank of a major general. The papers claim that the general, who is only twenty-seven years old. and greatly distinguished himself at Gallipoli, in Mesopotamia, and at Arras, is actually a German. It Is said that his father never acquired British citizenship after he emigrated to New Zealand more than 30 years ago.
