INITIATED ny SALISBURY.
what English Papers say of Anglo
German Entente.

Ionon. oct. 2i.-An tho morning papers
diiate upon ,he high importance OF the
Angio-German agreement. The Daily
Telegraph. which describes Il as the most
remarkable success scored Jy British d.
plomney since the Berlin treaty" says.
THE significant circumstances of &c
publication clearly suggest that 3, was
Initiated by Lord Salisbury at the moment
when an ill-considcrsd call Was made for
his retirement from the foreign office"
Although without such cnfusiyc praise ~
Lord S0llsbury's diplomacy most Of the
papers warmly approve the agreement
and recognize IN IL q warning 90 other
Powers. especially Russia
The Daily Mail observes:
''The agreement almost amounts 20 an
offensive and defensive alliance. II viii
put an end 10 the last hops of European
Intervention Ia South Africa"
The Times somewhat euiogistlc. says:
1T seems to be a sensible and business
like agreement 50 far as o. goes. bat %
hardly ju-tihes the far-reaching infer
euces some persons appear disposed 20
draw from 81. The first and second
clauses bind us 10 nothing which We have
not repeatedly profossed The third is
purely contingent and relates altogether
TO an eventuuiity that has not arisen and.
We trust. ls extremely unlikely 10 arise.
Russia has expressly declared that her
occupation OF Mauchuria Is only tcmpor-
airy, while nobody can suppose that Ger
many intends 70 abandon her traditional
policy toward Russia IN favor Of an An
glo-Gcrman alliance"
The Daily Chronicle the Morning Post
and the Daily News adopt similar
tone. The hrst-namcd journal says:
''The third clause may mean nothing
or sonnet hing very serious AZ no sane
man expects Russia to withdraw from
Manchuria"
The Morning Post says:
Russia VIII probably not be frightened
by the third clause ~ the agreement
Doubtless shc has already made her bar
gain with Germany. the latter being in
the habit Of making agrecmnts with both
sides al once"
