Berlin, Jan. 1L.-Whether by reason
Of President Roosevelt's especially cor
dial personal communication to En-
peFOr William, recently transmitted
unoffic!ally, or because the United
states has shown more than passive
good Will toward Germany in the Ven
ezuelan ENHANCEMENT, the foreign Of
fee here shows a disposition to for
ward any object in which the United
States is interested.
Consequently this is the moment for
ine st. Louis exposition management
tc tell the German government what
II desires for the fair. Since last sum-
jner, when the foreign Office gave little
encouragement TO the representations
Of the United States embassy on the
subject OF O. change in the govern
ment's attitude has taken place.
Though Baron Won Richthofen, the for
eign minister, has not committed the
government TO anything elaborate, or
even to any hing specific, he now
shows readiness to promote the ade-
qUate representation Of Germany.
Were the st. Louis delegates here at
present they would be welcomed and
given an Opportunity to present definite
requests.
Makes Populace Hate Albion.
German manufacturers have taken
considerable interest in the exposition,
judging from the inquiries made at the
United States consulate.
The Prince OF Wales visit to En-
perOr William on the occasion Of the
latters birthday will be for only day.
Those who see in this visit n desire on
the part of the British government to
show good will toward Germany are
quite mistaken. 1t is intended simply
q token of ZINC EIdxyor7fc Manson al
regard for Emperor William. The
Prince of Wales has declined all invi-
tstions TO entertainments proposed in
his honor, Including a reception by the
German regiment of which King Ed
ward is colonel. so that the Germans
may be under no appTehensiOns regard
ing the private and personal character
of the visit. Had the Prince of Wales
beer here this morning he would not
have been able to read any Berlin
periodical that did not contain lam
poems on his father, caricatures of Lord
Kitchener or brutal descriptions Of
British inhumanity IN South Africa.
Interested in the Opposition.
Considering tina t Chancellor Won Bue-
lows two speeches and the utterances
of the German minister to Great Brit
ain, Prince Wolff Metternich at Ham
part of the government to demonstrate
friendliness toward Great Britain, the
Illustrated papers here show singular
malignity in giving gruesome repre-
sensations of the torture of innocents
in the South African concentration
camps. These Things don't affect the
inhexible correct attitude of the gov
eminent, but they intensity the already
heated feeling against Great Britain.
The lot of Germans in Prussian Po-
land is fDil of vexations. The Poles
are ingeniOusly nagging the teachers
and officials, an bOyCOtts are serving
as q system of city intimidation. The
government has decided to station
Sarrisons in the small towns, in order
70 give moral support to the German
element. This step has caused a fresh
CutblIrst of popular feeling, the infer
ence being that the government in
tends to introduce coercive measures.
This, however, does not appear to be
the case. The whole Polish question
viii come Up for discussion before the
diet on Monday, when the debate will
begin with an Interpolation on the
subject.
