the Associated Press -Although no dip
lomatic questions have arisen between
! ENGLAND and Germany during the last
administration OF Rt Hon. W: 10. Glad
stone, the news OF the veteran liberals
retirement causes a feeling OF unteigned
satisfaction here The German people
have never gotten over the resentment
accustomed during the Franco-Prussian
war OF 1901 by the unfounded allega-
ton Tint Mr.. Gladstone encouraged the
sale OF arms and ammunition to France.
In addition, Mr. Gladstone was gener-
ally regarded In German official circles
as being an enemy Of the dreihund and
as responsible FOR England's Isolation In
European politics. Therefore the news
that Lord Roscherry Is TO become prime
minister ia received In Germany with
hearty welcome.
The committee OF the reichstag today
adopted the first of the twelve clauses
OF the Russo German commercial trentv.
with the exception of clause s. dealing
with import duties, discussion of which
was deferred the FIRST eighteen clauses
of the final protocol wcrc also adopted
and the committee adjourned untn Mon
day. No prolonged discussion OF clause
is expected.
The galleries Of the relchstag have been
crowded with visitors to hear the trenty
debate. These visitors included the
United States and Russian ambassadors
and many other distinguished people.

preston on Thursday of the desire ovnced

treaty.
or course the usual number OF rtinors
are In circulation regarding the treaty
and the manner In which II Is regarded
by people OF high rank. For instance, it
is still alleged that Dr. Miguel, the min
ister OF finance. while I'm an after dinner
mood expressed the opinion that the agra
rians would be asses II they supported
the treaty Some color is given to this
report by the fact that Minister Miquels
support already has been admittedly luke
warm; thus II IS quite possible that he
may have said some such thing in an un-
guarded moment. But DR. Miquol's speech
In the rsichstaE IN support Of the COM
merclal treaty thoroughly dismissed any
idea that he would encourage opposition
to this important measure
