Berlin, March 2S.-The attitude OF
Germany in the development Of the
Egyptian question has been pre-emi-
nent in public attention during the past
week and the press utterances in Great
Britain, Austria and Italy have been
closely watched. Germany's action in
the matter is misconstrued in Great
Britain and Austria, according to the
German newspapers, which deny that
her object in supporting Great Brit
aims proposition to use the Egyptian
reserve fund for the Nile expedition was
in any way to aid the latter country.
They declare that Germany's attitude
was solely determined out Of concern
for Italy, and add that the Austrian
statesmen apparently construed her aid
as an important precedent, as Italy's
African reserves nowise constituted a
casus federis as defined in the terms of
the dreibund. Consequently, Germany
is held to similarly aid Austria in her
Oriental policy. This view of the case,
however, is fatty repudiated by the Ger
jectman government, and a German
stateman who is thoroughly qualified to
express an opinion on the subject said
to the Associated Press correspondent:
'Germany's policy is not changed in
the least In spite Of recent events, our
relations with England remain the
same. Germany distruts England and
her ambitious schemes, and Germany's
support OF the proposal to send an ex-
petition to Dongola in no way engages
us in the future. Russia fully under
stands this, though our friendship for
Italy obliges US now to take contrary
views TO Russia and France. Moreover,
we could not engage to aid Austria in
any ambitious move in the Orient"
ENGLISH PORTS BARRED.
A significant sign. of the times is that
German warships are forbidden to touch
at English ports, and Emperor William,
It is now said, has determined not to
visit England this year. On the other
hand, the friendship between Russia
and Germany is not impaired, as shown
by the fact that the car and czarina

coronation fetes at Moscow. They will

After the return of Emperor William
from the Mediterranean his majesty

er, William L, erected at Frankfort-on-
the-Main.
Spring has commenced throughout
Germany abnormally early. The wealth
er is warmer than it has ever been at
this time of the year since 1913. Navi-
cation was re-opened on the Baltic, even
10 the farthest north, ten days ago, and
there have been several cases of sun

shade at Munich on Wednesday last.
and so degrees in Berlin.
BISMARCK TO HOHENLOHE.
Prince Bismarck has thanked Prince
Hohenlohe for his toast of March q,
upon the. occasion of the reichstag jubi-
lee banquet, in a letter in which he
speaks of that kind, chivalrous ora
tion," and expresses the hope that his
(Bismarck's) successor will not find his
office such a crown of thorns" as he
found it to be.
