GERMANS PROTEST.
The Kaiser's Policy Toward Crete Finds
Enemies.

Berlin, March 27.-The current of Ger.
what is known as "The Kaiser policy. y
regarding Greece not IN the columns
of the liberal press alone, but in those Of
newspapers which hitherto have been
giving their support to the policy of in
tervention in Crete on the part Of the
Powers. These journals bave taken q
new tack and are now deploring the part
which the united squadrnns Of the Pow
ers are playing and likely to play III
Cretan and Greek waters. An example
ofrthis newspaper opinion is shown in an
article in the National Zeitung COMMENT
ing upon the official announcement Of the
share taken in the naval concert by Ger
many's cruiser Augusta Victoria in bonn
harding the Cretan insurgents. which
charaoterizes the affair as an unheard
OF disgrace. adding that nothing more is
needed to prove that the Intervention oil
the Powers Is futile.
The Voss ische Zeiting in an article OH
the same subject says: "This senseleas
and brutal act Of intervention on the
part of Germany in Greece may well be
the last that Germany takes part in.
Nobody could witness the departure oil
more German ships and German troops
for Cretan waters without grave misgiv-
ings and anxiety. The German navy can
leave such task without jealousy TO
ether nations" The paper concludes its
article by saying: "The first step to be
taken Is the immediate withdrawal OF
Turkish troops from Crete. That public
sentiment will influence the Kaiser is
outside the bounds of probability, but
when the government speakers in the
Reichstag try to influence that body, as
they did in today's debate on naval
credits, by adducing the pnuoity of Ger
many's share in the naval demonstration
of the Powers in the East as compared
with the fleets of other natious, their
arguments fall fiat as they did today In
the face of the fact that Germany prefers
not to cooperate with the other Powers
in any measures of the coercion of
Greece. -
