Berlin Didn't Like Ii.

The news Is that the court at Ber-

ministerial disavowals about the Trans

sincerity is shared by millions of peo-
ple who are not at court. In Berlin
IL is openly asserted that the Jamison
raid had its inception in high official
circles. The German government was
stirred and the dispatches sent to Eng
land were impressively pointed.
Indeed, 1t is not easy to accept the
statement that the Jamison party

that would be a very unusual proceed

According to the reports that come
