 London. Nov. a.-The Berlin corre- spondent of The Daily Mail who repre- sents the anti-Chamberlain storm as
 attaining such proportions that the Gov ernment will be unable to control or stop it, says:
 Official circles are now joining in the agitation, which shows that they feel their position strong enough to justify them in disregarding the German policy or neutrality. It would seem as if, in addition to the Empress who. however, has little political Influence on Emperor William, the higher court circles have lately become influenced by the pan-Ger- man aspirations, several noblemen de- elining to attend the court festivities because they disapprove the Kaisers pol icy. Decency would forbid the reproduc- ton of the atrocious cartoons on Mir Chamberlain in English papers."
