OF the press, notably the Pan-Serman
organs, even going to the length OK
threatening a counter-demonstratlon IN
case the Emperor goes TO England, may
have the opposite effect on Official atu-
tude from the one intended. Germany
cannot act with less consideration to-
ward Great Britain than France and Rus
STA show. Ii Is grave mistake
on the part Of our raoid anti-British
statesmen 10 say that Great Britain Is
Isolated. She has the United states as
close friend. as has again been de-
monstrated recently. when the Venezuela
decision was rendered and the American
press found no fault with the verdict,
though the matter not SO long ago was
made almost q casus belli by the United
States Great Britain has Japan as an
other friend. and may even count on
Russias support In many Instances.
Above all, IT seems doubtful whether It
would be wise for Germany to make an
enemy Of Great Britain at this juncture.
NO INTERFERENCE.
The correspondent also learns on ex-
ceptionai authority that Germany has
no idea Of interfering with Great Britain
in South Africa. now or later. All
rumors foated 10 that effect are

government this week, by meetings
and urgeNt letters from Africa. Will have
no effect on Germanys policy. During
the whole duration of the war, Germany
Will be strictly neutral, as the Ass0-
ciated Press correspondent has pointed
out from the start
SAMOA.
Samoa continues to exercise the press,
which INDUCED this week in the widest
surmises. On the authority of the For
eign Office and the United States Am
bassador. Mr.. Andrew ID. White, the cor
respondent Of the Associated Press is I'm
a position to say that the present situa-
ton is that the negotiations between
Berlin and Washington some time ago
reached satisfactory agreement, and
those between London and Berlin are pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The chances that
they win shortly reach definite and sat
isfactofy conclusion have appreciably
improved during the last few days.
Great Britain seems on the point OF
yielding, 10 a certain extent, to Germany $
claims and representations of major
rights in the Islands. AT present it looks
as If Great Britain would retire alto
gether and leave Germany In sole pos

islands, except for a coaling-station AT

reached in principle, but with the equiva-

MAKING UP TO UNCLE SAM
| What has just been said shows the
| earnest desire Of the German Government
TO remove all ground Tor friction with
the United States. As indicating an equa
! wish to cultivate the most friendly rela

compliment paid the United States on The
occasion of former-President Benjamin
| Harrison's visit TO the new Palace al
| P0tsdam when the Stars and Stripes
were hoisted on the Palace. This was the

Another attention was shown General

at dinner by Prince H0henl0he, the latter
and all the German officials present die
not wear their decorations as a delicate
compliment TO the American guests.
