Berlin Feb. 24.-The Berlin POST reprints al
article from the @weser zeItungs on tho Samoan

question rejects tho supposition that tho Govern
ment came 10 terms with America owing 10 Ger
manys position in .cgard 10 France. and says;
Neither under the present nor under any other
circumstances would Germany have rsked rupture
with America for such bagatelle. Tho Samoan
whitebook shows that wherever the actions Of Ger
man officials were rcpudlated, Il because the
officials acted contrary to International law The
press criticisms evoked by the whitobook wore al
most entirely directed against the excess OF zeal dis
played by the German agents, who appeared 10 Do
