tension between the London and Berlin Foreign
Offices.

VOWED IN the Anglo-Begian convention. The
most threatening Of the possibilities is the pros

troops in the far hintcrand. The controversy
over the Ango-Began convention. while never
going 50 FAR as to menace the peace Of the
Powers involved. has several highly significant
features. For instance. section ~ the German
press which always hitherto has been friendly 70
England has displayed in this case the b'ttcrest
feeling against England and her rapacious
colonial policy. The sentiment u the German
people In general has been So kindlcd 10y the con-
vict!on that England had played unfairly that

popularity by assuming an attitude u open IN

and Prince B!smarck's "Hamburger Nachrichten"
are much disgusici with the settlement not be
