Won Nolmar then took up the statement
that Russia intends 10 raise a great loan

the larger part of the orders for war

Nolmar's "chivalrous defense Of Herr Be

was one Of strict neutrality correspond !
ing with the traditional attitude OF Ger
many toward the Russian empire and
regretted that the socialists treated Rus
sian relations wholly from the standpoint
OF a political party, just as many Ger
mans gave vent to their feelings during
the Boer var 70 exercise the ostensfble
and moral right TO criticise foreign af-
fairs.
