AN EXCHANGE OF NOTES
Between the Foreign Offices Of Creal
Britain and Germany
REGARDING The BUSDEsRATH INCIDENT
England Desires to Communicate
with Durban--Anair Has Helped
the Fmperor's Naval Bill.

Berlin. January 3.--Ths German foreign
office informed the correspondent OF the
Associated Press today that Great Brit
ain had not then answered Germany
note OF protest regarding the seizure by
the British cruiser Magicienne OF the
German mail steamer Bundesrath off Della
goa Bay. 1t appears that the British
foreign office desires first to communi-
cate with Durham on the subject. This
desire Is not taken as a move to delay a
final adjustment of the matter. There
has been lively interchange Of notes
between Berlin and London. but the Ger
man foreign Office is apparently keeping
cool
On the other hand. violent and threat
ening tone toward Great Britain is OBJ
servable in other official quarters. The
Berliner Tageblatt, remarking that the
anti British sentiment is stronger than
ever and recalling Joseph Chamberlain s
Leicester speech, says that 'if this is the
way In which England hopes to gain an
alliance with Germany, she is making the
yeriest mistake"
The Neuste Nachrchten says it learns
that the foreign office is pressing the
Bundesrath incident decisiyely from the
legal standpoint. but hopes for an ADJUST
ment without interruption Of correct Of
fetal relations"
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has received information going to
show that the Bundesrath was possibly
guilty OF carrying contraband. Heavy
shipments OF arms and ammunition were
shipped in December to Macao and Hong
Kong, consigned to order. 1t Is surnised
that their ultimate destination was either
the Philippines or the Transvaal.
In any event the Bundesrath incident is
WORKING TO create sentiment in favor of
naval increase and the passage OF the ma
val bill is now considered assured in spite
of centrist opposition. No serious con-
fiiot bwteeen Emperor William and the
reichstag is expected. On the contrary.
popular sentiment for larger navy is
constantly growing
The semi official Berliner Post SAYS:
I'VE expect TO see the reichstag equal to
great national task. Otherwise an appeal
10 the voters will undoubtedly secure
favorable majority" -.
The official Berliner Correspondent
quotes in double loaded article the decla-
ration of the Hamburg chamber of com
merce that Germanys navy must not re-
main behind other navies, and pronounces
this "a most significant demonstration in
favor of an increase of the fleet and
world policy for Germany"
Inc pronouncement OF the Hamburg
chamber was very emphatic. Germany
must cast her eyes toward the future and
make her power felt IL she wishes to main
tain her rank among the nations. We can
congratulate ourselves upon having a ruler
impressed with this historical necessity
