eERMANY's POSITION. &
BERLIN, July. 22-The Prussiau Gross
Gazette, in an article on the policy of Ger
many, says the Daipfenance Of the former
state Of things is impossible. since Egypt has
g-sa<fe.llJ zssten r7acr the don,iaiaz of
England Il is impossible 10 prosnosticate
The work Of The future, aA no power hss
disclosed its plans. England has not yet
Ieckoned up the sequences of her course.
There is no necessity, therefore, for Germany
to prematurely take sides. Bismarck, on
deciding upon the attitude to be taken, will
not prove false to tradition.
