As Viewed In France.

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-The publication by the
Lokal Anzeiger, OF Berlin, of the secret
treaty between Germany, Portugal and
Great Britain, providing for the partition
of the Portuguese colonies, meets with no
crcdence in official circles here. A Foreign
Office official said the advices from Portu-
gal and Germany left no doubt that the
publication was largely invention. They
could not believe Portugal would sign
treaty stripping herself of her colonies.

Might Disturb Balance of Power.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3-Nothing Is
known here of the reported intention of
Germany and Great Britain to partition
Portuguese East Africa between them,
Great Britain taking the country around
Delagoa bay and southwark, and Germany
the northern half of the territory which
joins the German East African possessions.
The officials here attach no credence to
the story, because, as they point out, a
movement of this kind, disturbing the
balance of power in Africa, would lead al
most certainly to serious complications
between the principals and the other
powers of Europe. Moreover, the old
rumor of a secret treaty between England
and Portugal whereby the former might,
for a proper consideration, possess itself
Of Delagoa bay whenever the place is
needed for military purposes, has already
been credited to some extent here, and if
such treaty really existed there would be
no need for Germany's participation as
reported.
