WHAT DOES GERMANY MEAN
From The Lond1n Eeio,, June II.


The Intelligence which W. receive from Germany
diso0ses three presumpiiye violations Of German neu
traity and two distinct breaches Of the fundamental
laws of the Confederation. II latey annouu ed

upon neutral Powers by International lss. But
question may be raised by Oiicia. defenders OF
the Austrian Government whether such arrangements
