BERLIN. Sept. 2.-The North German Ga
zette, referring to the articles of the ultra
montane and liberal press regarding Prince
Alexander, says: Germany, unless she
forthwith declared war against Russia, could
only protest against any further interference
with Alexander or perhaps against Russia
taking further steps in the direction of Con-
stantinople, Russia would energetically re-
pei the insinuation of such an intention, and
Germanys friendly relations with Russia
would be ended.
sit must be remembered that war would
be the logical development iof such situa-
tion. Nobody doubts that the ultramontane
and liberal policy is fraught with imminent
danger to Germany. One must either stand
to the policy of the government or plunge
the empire into interminable war.
Opportunity will then be afforded to stig
Matte before the country the reckless frivol-
ity of the empires foes who attempt to ham
die its foreign politics.
