ception here and the reasons leading
thereto will be made the subject of an
Interpolation in the reichstag early this
week during the first budget debate. The
imperial chancellor, Count Won Buelow,
will personally reply. The excitement on
the subject and sympathy with the Beers
are still deep and far reaching, as evidenced
by today's Die Nation, which contains an
article by Professor Mommson, who APP
proves of the attitude of Emperor Will
liam not receiving the Boer statesman as
being more digniied and more just than
if he received him and confessed his power
lessness to avert the South African tragedy,
which is now going on toward the final
act.
The Vossische Zeitung takes similar
view and says that "hypocritical France,
which is seeking to embroil Germany with
England, would have left Germany in the
lurch, probably confederating with Eng
land against Germany after succeeding in
breaking the bonds of Anglo-German
friendship"
