GERMANY AND
GREAT BRITAIN.
Their Relations Become Less and
Less Cordial,
CHAMBERLAIN THE CAUSE
London Morning Post Says Temper
OF tho Gefman People IN Becom-
Ing Dangerous

London. Nov. 22--The fact that the
nti-Chamberlaln agitation In Germa-
ny has at last extracted semi-oiilcial
expression Of approval from the North
German GaSt to- has had the effect of
convincing the British press that the
situation Is becoming serious. Hereto
fore there had been disposition to
disregard and belittle the influence of
the agitation. Now the papers are
taking the trouble to explain that Mr.,
Chamberlalns words are not intended
to insult or offend Germany,
"'rhc temper of the German people IL
dangerous says the Morning Post.
'and II behooves our people to be on
their guard, The Germans appear 70
regard Great Britain as coyetous, RAJ
paciuus and barbarous. From that be-
lief TO the corolary that a barbarous
nation ought TO be suppressed Is short
and easy step
The Daily News remarks! MI
Chamberlain, az the French say, costs
dear The new imperialism which
was to strengthen our position In the
world has left us without friend,
America cannot supply what we have
lost In Europe, for the German, Dutch
and Irish elements In that great com
munlty are today more hostile than
they were during the Venezuelan trou-
Bile"
The Daily Chronicle. which admits
that the agitation Ia the outcome OF
Misrepresentation OF Mr., Chamberlain
lll-judged and ill-timed remarks says.
This does not diminish the gravity of
the situation. 1t Is a serious thought
that Lord Salisburys elf-congratula-
ton at the Guildball at the correct at
ttude OF the great powers Is beginning
to he falslfed." Referring then TO the
'scurrllous attacks made by the Ger
man press" the Daily Chronicle con-
cludes as follows. "Unless the au-
thoritles restrain the unlicensed abuse
of England In the German press we
fail TO see how this country can much
longer ignore these accumulated In
suits"
The Standard and the Daily Tee-
graph are much less alarmlst In tone,
but they recognize that such agita-
tions, even when artificial, are not al
ways harmless, and It is a good thing
that the relations between the two gov
ernments are SO friendly and that
Queen Victoria's blood runs in the kali
ser's veins"
All the papers publish long specials
from Berlin describing the public feel
ing and agreeing that the article In
the North German Press Is proof that
the German government is altogether
poweress to stem the agitation which
Is intended II possible to force Count
Won Buelow into some anti-British an
nouncement.
The Times defending Mr.. Chamber
lain against German attacks, says
1--WE must beg to remind the Germans
that we claim an equal right to guard
our own honor and to resent accusa-
tions founded upon the most hateful
and poisonous calumnies disseminated
with deliberate persistence inexplic-
able In friendly community.
1--WE hope the German people and
government win understand that the
British nation will not acquiesce In any
impeachment Of the honor Of our gal
liant soldiers, which Is as dear to US as
is that of the German army to the
German nation"
