TIRED OF VAR N CHINA
BUT ONE SENTIMENT EXPRESSED
In BERLIN REICHSTAG DE-
BATES ON BUDGET
FEELING ECHOED BY PUBLIC
Won BueIow Was Unable to Forecast
the Time of Ending the Heavy
Financial Drain - German
Colonies Improbable.

BERLIN, March 16.-The most striking
feature during Fridays and today's de-
hate in the reichstag was the unani-
mcusly manifested feeling OF WEAKNESS
over the China adventure. L was reg
ular chorus OF 'slet us get out of China. ;"
The Socialist speakers said, Get out at
any price" The Radical Left and Gen.
ter said: "Get out as soon as honor
PERMITS Even the Conservatives said
as much although all parties recognized
the fact that the 12S,000,0G0 marks de-
nanded as third installment Of the eX-
penses must be voted. Indeed the en-
tire nation is thoroughly tired of China,
even the government and the reigning
princes as the toast of the heir to the
Eavarian throne at the Munich festivi-
ties showed. when he said: 1--WE all de-
sire a speedy and successful end OF the
China war"
The newspapers today are full of COM
,aent upon Count Won Buelow's latest
ritterances on the subject of China and
foreign politics. Nearly all the papers
touch on the chancellor's positive state
cnent regarding the dreibund's stability
and his reference to the Anglo-German
China agreement, but they do not refer
to the latter. There have been a num-
her of previous semi-off1cial hints. 1t Is
1ntimated, however, that the papers re-
get Count Won Buelows inability to tell,
even approximately, when peace will be
declared.
PEACE Is FAR DISTANT.
The Lokal Anzseiger and Vossische Eel
tung consider peace and the withdrawal
OF the German troops to be still a long
way off and to be postponed for year
or two. The Tageblatt, -Deutsche Tages
Zeitung, Die Post, Kreuz Zeitung and
the Cologne Volks zeitung express the
liz eliest satisfaction at the fact that
Count Won Buelow's declarations gave
light on the subject Of the actual rela-
tions between Russia and Germany, or at
least, regarding the political relations
which do not happen to be as critical
as has been generally feared.
The National Zeitung points out that
the chancellor's utterances seem to show
that the financial damages to be paid
by China will be soberly and wisely ar
ranged by the Pekin diplomatists.
The press praises Won Buelow for his
frankness Only the Vorwaerts dubs his
speeches as causeries Chats.
Regarding Russias reported protest
against further punishments Of Chinese
provincial officials outside of Pc Chi Ii,
official circles here say that such a pro-
test could not have been directed against
Germany, as she has no interest therein,
but against Great Britain and the United
States, particularly the latter, many Of
whose citizens were murdered outside OF
Pc Chi Lii This weeks reichstag's do
ings were interesting
COLONIES NOT A SUCCESS.
The colonial budget discussions showed
again that the German colonies hitherto
have been unenviable property, several Of
them exhibiting steadily decreasing trade
with Germany, especially. the largest of
all, namely, German East Africa, which
is twice the size Of Germany But its
trade to Germany was only 100000 marks
in 1899, although the empire pays 14000,000
marks for it's administration, partly for
quelling constant uprisings. The Kane
rooms territory alone seems TO more than
cover expenses.
There is a movement on foot among
German women to issue a gigantic pro-
test against the threatened increase Of
agricultural duties, as rendering the nee
essaries of life much higher, especially
for the poorer classes, which comprise
81 per cent of the whole nation ~ call is
sued at Dresden by the most noted wom-
en- leaders has already received millions
of signatures.
The Reichsanzeiger has published the
text Of a law adopting the American lets
ter box system for the German postal
department
Die Woche today prints an arti-
Gle from the pen of a noted military
writer, Capt. Fritz Hoenig, regarding the
possibilities of the effect of a hostile
landing in England. Capt. Hoenig con-
siders that France is practically the only
power from which Great Britain might
fear a successful landing, but only in con-
tingencies not likely to al Use. i.
