GERMANY REMAINS NEUTRAL,
BUT SHE IS ON THE ALERT

Il have had a conversation with the
ambassador Of one of the great powers.
who has informed me that there are
threats of a further complication OF
the situation in Russia says the Ber-
lin correspondent Of the New York
Herald"
by reason Of the rising in the Cauca-
sus, the Russian military authorities
would be required to take steps TO re-
enforce the garrisons in order 70 be pre-
pared for eventualities.
In regard to the reported mobilization
Of the Austrian army. his excellency
thought there had been exaggeration.
though he would not have been surprised
IL the army Of occupation in Bosnia had
been increased. Probably these are the
re-enforcements which recently caused
anxiety to the Italian government

committee has fallen.

In regard to the conflict, in the Far
East. while admitting n certain feeling
In Russia against England and the
United States. his -excellency was not
Of the opinion that this feeling was i
racial one.
THE temerity Of Japan in attacking
such great power as Russia could only
be explained TO the Russian mind as be-
ing inspired by the two Anglo-Saxon
governments.
His excellency was OF the opinion
that Germany. at least until some de-
cisive Issue was reached, would remain
strictly neutral. If. however. the re-
suit Of the war should be the beginning
OF scramble for China the imperial
government undoubtedly would look
carefully after his own interests.
The feeling Of Germany in regard to
the war is far from unanimous. the gov
eminent and the upper classes being
additionally friendly TO Russia, while
the man in the street sympathizes with
Japan"
