Berlin, Dec. 23.-The change in public
opinion in favor of Great Britain which
was referred to in the dispatches from
Berlin Friday night, continues. Even
the Hamburger Nachrichten, which
hitherto has been intensely Anglophobe.
prints a communication today from a
Hamburg merchant. protesting against
blinden Englanderhass (blind Anglo
ohobia).
The papers are full of communica-
tons from literary writers on the sub
ject of the war. The Neuste Nachrich-
ten today contains an article pointing
out that the military success of Beers
numbering quarter of a million
against nation which at home alone
numbers 30.C00,000. is explainable be-
cause the Beers are armed with the
best modern rifles, and know how to
use Them.
The British, the writer says, under
valued their adversary and failed to
appear on the seat of war with a nu-
merical superiority,,~while their STRAIT
egg. was largely ordered in London.
Again, he points out, all the British
generals neglected reconnoiterings and
were deficient in the A B. C. of field
service. To this. be continued, must
be added the fatal attack, while the
.Mauser gun has brilliantly stood the
test of this campaign.
Devoid of Features.
On thee other hand, a military. critic
in the Boersen Courier maintains that
no modern war has 6een SO devoid of
interesting features of theoretical and
strategic lessons. and that the British
have proved their stupendous ..assinin
ity as a military nation m an unparal-
leled manner
The papers also continue to discuss
the probability as to Great Britain's
hereafter, since they claim her total
collapse as a military power has been
proved by this war. The usually we'll
informed Kreuz Zeitung contains a let
ter from high parsonage at st. Peters
burg claiming that the question as TO
whether it is advisable to use Great
Britain's powerlessness is again being
seriously considered in Russian gov
eminent circles.
Urge Asiatic Advance.
The military party is urging the
timelinesS FOR an ASiatic advance. The
correspondent of the Associated Press
can assert, however, on high authority
that as concerns Germany, no such
step will be Joined in under any Cir
cumstances, but that full neutrality
will be maintained to the end.
German internal policies continue to
be as mixed as ever. The whole, con-
sentative party, including their court
Sympat hizers. exert themselves to the
utmost to inS5ress the emperor's mind
with the fact that Prince Hoheniohe is
the foe of agricultural interests; that
the conservatives have lost all conf
dence in him, and that it will be i'm
possible for the government to reign
against that party. In order to carry
out this programme the united con.erv-
alive press wages war against Prince
Hohenlohe but the statements are
worded cunningly in a manner for the
emperor not to take offense. His maj
esty is regularly made to see the clip
pings of all these anti-chancellor argu-
ments but thus far they have not pro-
duced the desired effect. Prince -Ho-
henlohe desires to conclude his days as
chancellor, and the emperor concurs./.
this desire.
Eonored By the Emperor.
At the ceremony at the unwilling of
the monument to Elector George Will
liam in the Sieges Alec today the en-
peror looked hale and hearty, with
rudy cheeks. The ceremony was brief.
There were no speeches, but the occa-
sion was rendered memorable by his
majesty at the close stepping briskly to
Herr Kirschner, the chief sburgomas-
ter of Berlin, shaking hands with him
cordially and handing him his long ex-
pected confirmation as chief burgomas
ter, consisting of documents with big
seals attached. The emperor congratu-
lated the burgomaster, and said he
wished him many years of successful
administration of Berlin, adding, loud
enough to be heard some distance: "A
city for which 1 feel great affection and
entertain the highest hopes, which 1
know you will help me to realize"
Thus ends happily this matter, which
for long time has kept the emperor
and Berlin on a quasi war footing.
Cold, crisp, white Christmas weather
prevails here. The Spree is frozen
solid, the big Mueggelsee is alive with
skaters, and everybody is busy with
preparations for Christmas. Business
is brisk and many novelties are exhib-
tied in the stores. Unfortunately there
is a scarcity of Christmas trees, owing
to the deep snow in the Hartz noun
tains and everywhere.
