DENIAL THAT SHE STOOD IN THE WAY OF

Berlin, July 6.-The German Government and
press are sore over the imputations contained
in foreign papers that Germany assists in block
ing the way to giving Japan mandate from
the Powers regarding China 1t was stated at
the Foreign Office to-day that Germany merely
refused to urge Russia to consent to this step.
The semi-official press tonight repeats similar
statements. The ''Vosssche Zeitung" says:
Whenever the Powers agree TO intrust Japan
with mandate Germany will surely assent
but if the Powers disagree regarding the mat
ter. Germany has no reason to place herself on
one side or the other.

Press the statement that Emperor Williams

will alter her China policy because of Baron
Ketteler's assassination but that she stu
diously intends TO cooperate with the Powers
The Boerse talk to the contrary. which resulted
In heavy Boerse losses, is declared to be entirely
without foundation. The "Vosssche Zeitung"
however, strongly argues that the 'Emperor's
speeches ought be revised by responsible
members Of the Cabinet before they are deliv-
cred. and then published officially thereby
avoiding misunderstanding and Boerse specu-
lations and losses
