GERMAN PRESS IS WARL|KE
Discusses Proposed Meeting of
British and italian Rulers.

Berlin, April 1S.-King Edwards
approaching meeting with King Victor
Emmanuel Of Italy is attracting much
attention In the German press, which
comments on the event as being an
effort to isolate Germany and win
Italy away from the triple alliance.
An article in the Cologne Gazette in
this sense is being widely discussed,
inspired from Berlin. The writer says
public opinion in Germany sees in
King Edwards course an attempt to
disturb the European equilibrium,
which is calculated to awaken misgiv-
ings regarding his armament proposal,
and finally warns Great Britain that
war with Germany would be danger
GUS for any opponent or any coalition
of opponents"
This sharp language is interpreted
by the Tagliche Rundschau as mean
ing that the German government has
grown weary of the English game of
hide and seek and the comedy of peace
and disarmament"
At the foreign Office, when attention
was called to the Cologne Gazette's
article, it was stated that it expressed
only the editorial opinion of the pa
per; that the German government was
in no way responsible for such views
and that the government officials
would have taken steps to prevent
their publication if they had been
known in advance. The foreign office
does not see any reason for disquiet
in connection with the meeting Of. the
kings of England and Italy, since Italy
knows that her independence is better
guarded by being a member of the
triple alliance than if she is thrown
wholly upon Anglo-French support.
Great Britain's predominant position
in the western part of the Mediter-
ranean is fully recognized by Ger.

and animal astonishments-and 1T is
encamped on the usual grounds near

The circus arrived in town little
late, but a well-trained army of work
men soon erected canvas city on the

much attention, and was followed by
free exhibition at the grounds. The

of the best, and several novelties are
! included.

the sun to greet the show on it's ar
rival and to watch every detail of tho
preparations for the two perform
ances. The balloon man made his ap
pearance on the streets early to catch
/ the parade crowd, and 'cirous day

youngster and not a few of their eld-

see a circus. The pupils of the schools
were dismissed early so as to let then
see the procession.
