(Ey Associated Prcss)
BERLIN, Sept. 1S.-The publication Of
Count Won Buelow's circular note, which
was made through the horde Deutsche
Algemeine Zeitung, was decided upon
because it was deemed best to let the
world see that Germany had nothing to
hide regarding her real aims in China.
The Diplomatic Corps here so inter-
prets it.
The note shows also that Count Won
Buelov's sober and moderate views re-
gardns the Chinese middle and its solu-
ton have now triumphed over Emperor
Williams more expansive plans.
Tomorrow the leading German papers
viii approve the note. The Freisnrige
Zeitung, calling particular attention to
the passage declaring that wholesale eX-
ecutions are contrary to the civilized
conscience, says:
This Is in striking contrast with En-
peror Williams Instructions to the de-
parting troops to spare no one and make
no prisoners
