Berlin, May 4-King Edwards Medi-
terranean tour and his visits to King Al
fonso and King Victor Emmanuel are
stil the subject of the widest and most
unaceountabled edenuneiation In the German
press and in the German subsidized news
papers published in Austria.
II is charged against the King that by
a diplomacy of ententes with the Latin
nations he is hemming Germany within
"a ring, which is intended to diminish the
influence OF the country in world politics.
Politicians here feel that Germany is
impotent TO stem the diplomatic sue
cesses of his majesty and the cordial un-
derstanding which he is establishing with
the Mediterranean powers is described in
hystericaI articles in the press as a sin
lister attempt TO ring Germany within a
combination of hostile powers.
England Menaeed with War.
The TaegIiche Rundschau goes so far
as 10 menace Great Britain with war.
This influential organ. which circulates
extensively among officers Of the army,
government officials and the more inn
portant classes OF the population, states:
The German government is AZ last
resolved 10 expose King Edwards relent-
less anti-German agitation. Our govern
ment is tired of concealing the truth, and
sick of British hypocrisy about the linz
itatiOn OF armaments. Germany responds
to British intrigues with a threat TO in
crease her armaments. We hope this
language will be understood in London
and at Gaeta, and that it viii have due
effect

determination which is bred Of the knowl-
edge that We represent a just cause"

tremely pessimistic article, declares that
Great Britain viii certainly detach italy
from Germany, and viii arrange new
AugiO-Italian alliance. The National Hei-
tung, the Tageblatt and the Deutsche
Tagezeitung all comment on the meetings
In the same hostile tone which pervades
almost the entire German press
Alarm in Austria.
Nearly every Vienna newspaper also
comments violently on King Edward
journey and The momentous results that
are feared
HIS majesty's visits to King Alfonso
and King Victor Emmanuel have excited
constern9tion among the Austrian camp
followers of Germany.
The Neue Freie Presse declares that
the motive of the Kings visit 10 spain
is not personal affection for King Alfonso,
bat a desire to exclude Germany from
world policy and so hinder economic com
petition. The journal adds that Germany
must remain loftily calm and resolute.
The Neues Wiener Journal which is
owned by Germans. says that Great Brit
ain has renewed the anti-Napoleonic CO.
aiition, but this time it is directed against
Germany. The journal fears that the
meeting at Rapallo between Signor Tit
toni and Prince Buelow was not sufi-
