man Legislator Who Casts Re-
Elections Upon the British Army
and Denounces Joseph Chamber
lain as an Infamous Scoundrel.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-Following close
after the snub administered to Great
Britain on the subject of the prince
of Wales, earlier in the week (when
the semi-official North German Ga
zette denied that Emperor William
had urged the prince of Wales to
visit Berlin on the occasion of his
majesty's birthday celebration, point
ing out that the prince had been in
vited at the request of King Edward),
the North German Gazette Saturday
pointedly denies that emperor Will
liam will attend either the memorial
| service in honor of the late Queen
| Victoria or the coronation of King
Edward. The paper says the state
ments of the English papers are un-
true. Regarding the coronation, the
North German Gazette points out
that it is not in accordance with tra-
ditional international usage for SOW
ereigns to attend coronation festivi-
ties of foreign monarchs. -
Anger in England.
London, Jan. 13.-The anger of the
English people is rising rapidly with
the repeated attacks on the British
army made in public debate in theGer-
man reichstag. The Times this morn
ing, after declaring that seldom if ever,
has a friendly alton been so grossly
insulted, warns the kaiser that the
limit of British patience will be over
stepped if Chancellor Won Buelow con-
tinues to wipe his feet on the kings
uniform. The Times says:
Seldom, If ever, has friendly nation
been so grossly insulted in foreign par
lament, and never within; our memory has
insult met with such mild rebuke from the
representative of a friendly power with
whom he processes to desire the mainte-
nance of good relations as Count Won Bue-
low thought sufficient to inf1ict on Herr
Won Sonnerberg. Even brigands and thieves
may know how to die. What we have
right to expect from the minister OF a
friendly state is a definite reputation of
the calumnies uttered within his hearing.
Limit Nearly Reached.
with regard, not to the British soldiers
dead, but to those who are living, we must
state frankly and emphatically that the
limit of British patience will be over
stepped if Count Won Buelow imagines he
can court British friendship and at the
same time use the kings uniform, in which
our kinsnen are fighting honorably in
South Africa, in order to wipe his parlia-
mentary feet upon it."
Attack in German Reichstag.
Berlin, Jan. 13.-Another savage at
tack was made on Joseph Chamberlain
during the budget debate in the reich
stag Friday. Herr Iiebermann Won
Sonnenberg, whose hatred of English
men and Jews is coequal, delivered
furious TRADE against England and
Mr.. Chamberlain.
Calls Chamberlain a ScOundrel.
Criticising the recent advocacy of
friendship with Great Britain by the
new German ambassador at London,
the speakers wrath overftowed, but
finally focused itself upon Mr.. Cham
berlain. He shouted: "In dealing with
those who calumniate the Fatherland
we must shake our clinched fists I'M
der their insolent noses. AS Germans
see in Chamberlain the representative
of clique of stock jobbers and specu-
lators and the instiga tor of disgrace
full robber war, he is in their eyes the
most Infamous scoundrel on the face
of Gods earth"
Army of Thieves and Bandits.
President Won Ballestrom hereupon
instantly called the speaker to order,
warning him not to abuse the minister
of a friendly state. Herr Liebermann
| replied that he expected to be called
to order, but there was no other fit
ting expression. He proceeded to at
tack the British army as horde of
thieves and bandits.
Rebuked by Won Bue1ow.
Chancellor Won Buelow arose and
rebuked the speaker. All but the
small anti-Semite section applauded
him. The chancellor said he believed
he would have the sympathy of the
house in expressing the hope that the
custom of abusing foreign ministers
in the reichstag would not be nat
uralized. Such abuse was neither in
accordance with the habits of Ger
mans, who were civilized people,
nor in the interest of German policy.
This statement elected cheers. Con-
tinuing, the chancellor said he must
also express the deepest regret for
the manner in which Herr Lieber-
mann had referred to the army of
nation with which Germany was liv-
ing in peace and friendship. He
added: "We are sensitive of the
honor of our own army, and should
not insult foreign armies in which
there are men who know how to die
