Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'We were allowed to see two German papers—the "Kölnische Zeitung" and the "Lokal Würzburger Anzeiger." These papers arrived after lunch, and anything of interest in them was translated aloud for the benefit of the club by Reddy, who knew German thoroughly. The former showed a disposition to break forth into sensational headlines, and was rabidly and sometimes comically anti-English.'
