BERLIN, January s1--The Germans
are pretty nearly convinced now that
Bismarck was hasty when he said that
the Monroe doctrine was "a piece Of I'M
pudence." For long time England has
been trying to bring this home to them.
and at last she has succeeded. They
know now that the result Of the San
drinsham conference between King Ed
ward and the Kaiser did not mean that
England would endorse any and every
sort of rlotous conduct on the part Of
Germany's fleet off the Venezuelan coast,
The note sounded by the British press
throughout the week on this subject has
sounded more ominously In German ears
than anything they have been forced to
listen to in long time. They are ac-
ceptIng it to mean that whatever King
Edward may have promised his imperial
nephew at Sandrngham. he will never
go to the length OF costing England any
sacrifice Of friendship on the part OF the
United States.
Within the last few days the Kaiser
himself, by an unexpected eagerness for
arbitration, has shown himself hard hit
by this great truth. He seems now as
the friendship of the United States. Tho
tide, as matter Of fact. has turned
strongly, and the whole Venezuelan CAM
paign Is recognized throughout Germany;
to have been colossal blunder.
