States through the closer union of their in
terest On the contrary, the greater develop
ment OF means of communication produced
certain solidarity of the interests of all States
FRIENDLY COOPERATION.
No State, the note goes on to say, could be
free from the reaction consequent upon. such
disturbances as were now in question, and
even though the adoption Of the remedies
suggested was surrounded with difficulties,
friendly exchange of opinions of both gov

GERMANYs PEACEFUL INTENTIONS.

THE Road TO A GOOD UEpERsTANDrSo.
The note expresses the desire that Belgium
embrace this opportunity Of following this
example, and regard this proceeding on the
part of Germany as o new proof Of the graft
States. Even if this effort should be frus-

WARNING AGAINST NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The note cautions Belgium against distor-

German Ambassador, which hasty examinn-
ton had given no reason to doubt, that the
second Prussian note was conceived in very
friendly spirit
