15 Aiohlv Probable.


BerNn, Jan. 1.-THE German foreign
once holds to the opinion that war in
tine far east Is stiil highly improha-
BILE. Beyond this official statements do
not 70. Unoficlal opinion regards the
statements telegraphet from the far
east OF extreme tension as a part of
great diplomatic game designed TO
sasake Russia bslieve that more con-
cessinns must be made or Japan will
ottack.
TN German ,newspapers have no
oreriai correspondents in tbs far east
ana rely for news either ON outside
agencies or on official sources here.
Since the Official sources consistently
aver that war Is wholly out OF the
question. not single newspaper in
Germany, as far as the correspondent
mas seen. regards war as likely.
The German foreign office Is weal in
formed. especially from the Russian
eide. and Il may be inferred that the
positive Official optimism here is de-
rived from knowledge that Russia will
not permit war to break out.
