SCORES Won BU[L0N
EnflIsh Press Outspoken in De.
nunciation OF His Offen-
sive Speech.
Says the Insult to Chamberlain
Has Greatly Irritated Great
Britain.
Scores the Kaiser and the "Phar'
asaical Impertinence OF
the German Press"

London. an. s.-The singing rebukc
administered to Chamberlain, British
colonial secretary, by Chancellor Won
Buelow in the reichstag at Berlin yes
terday, for the references in Chamber
lair's speech at Edinburgh October last
to the conduct of the German army in
the war with France, has caused in
tense and widespread irritation here,
and a markedly increased bitterness of
the Anglo German discord. The ST.
James Gazette, which calls Count Won
Buelow "swaggering pharisee, says:
sIlis offensive speech has brought a
growing irritation between the two
countries into dangerous sphere, and
THE kaisers telegram six years ago was
not more disastrous to the mutual good
relations than the studied aTront on
Z British statesman who is trusted by the
country, and thru him, on the country
itself. Our attitude of easy tolerance Is
no longer compatible with our dignity
as q nation. Even If Won Buelow had
been at the head of republican minls-
try dependent for its life on fckie popu-
lar opinion there would have been little
excuse for his gross perverslon OF tacts
md breach of international comfy.
The Gazette concludes with an express
sion of belief that the "Pharasaical I'M
pertinence of the German press is pro-
sfoundly distasteful to the KAISER, VINO
Is manfully striving to stem the torrent
which is bringing his empire towards
a Niagra of disaster, and warns Ger
many that: Both eastward ana west
ward of her there is a menace Whlch
holds her armed to the teeth IN Sleep
less vigilance, and when the expected
4 catastrophe In the southeastern Europe
leaves her alone between the upper ana
neither millstones she may bitterly re-
gret the loss of the good will of this
country which she is now fiinging away
with both hands"
lyon Buelow's words can not fall 10
be rated thruout Europe as snub to
Great Byitsan." says the Pail Mall Ga
zette in an editorial headed "Retort
Dlscourteous." The editorial expresses
regret that the chancellor, In his anX-
iety not to be suspected of being
friend of England has chosen TO stlmu-
late rather than soothe the anti-British
spirit" The Globe accuses Won Bue-
low of Deliberately pandering to the
lowest and most ill-informed elements
of public opinion in Germany" adding:
cts inconceivabie that the chancellor
spoke thus without the approval of the
kaiser" The Globe then lectures En-
peror William for I" Not Checking the
stream of foul lies and obscene carica-
lures In the German Press" Referring
to the Forthcoming visit of the prince
of Wales to Germany. 1t says: ut is
poor beginning of hospitality on the
Kaiser's part to allow his chancellor to
indulge in language Intentionally Of
fensive to the whole British empire"
The West Minister Gazette alone dep
recates the relations between Great
Britain and Germany. Such comments
as those quoted above. it is thought,
may infiame public already angered in
consequence of the snub administered
by Emperor William a few days ago
in the North German Gazette This
paper is the chief mouthpiece of the
government and in 1t a note appeared
saying the statement in the English
press that the German emperor had
pressed the prince of Wales to attend
his birthday celebration was untrue,
explaining that King Edward had sug-
ge6ted the visit and the emperor had
sent the invitation.
