Considerable Of Sensation Con-
tanned in Allegations Of the
London Times.
REPUOIATEs INTERFERENCE
See no Reason Why Letter Should
Not be Published But 1t is Matter
For Emperor William and Lord
Twecdmouth to Decide.

BERLIN, March 6. - Considerable
OF sensation contained in the allie
cations of the London Times in ref
erence to the letter sent by Emperor
William in February to Lord Tweed
mouth. The foreign office admits
that the letter was sent but the asser-
tion Of the London Times that his
majesty endeavored to interfere in
the naval plans Of Great Britain was
characterized as untrue. His majesty
in his letter corrected certain erron-
eous impressions England had in re-
gard to the development of the Ger
an feet. In naval matters the En-
peror is entitled to consideration as
an expert was the explanation at the
foreign office and he is recognized as
such in England as well as in Ger
many. As the Emperor of Germany
he would reject any foreign attempt
to decide the proportions Of the Ger
man feet and on this basis would re-
pudiate the idea that he had interfer-
ed in the naval affairs of Great Brit
ain. The German official can see no
reason why the letter should not be
published, but it is declared the mat
ter is personal one between the
Emperor and Lord Tweedmouth.
Asserting that Emperor William
recently sent letter to Lord Tweed
mouth, first lord of the admiralty, on
the subject Of the British and Ger
man naval policy, the Times this
morning calls for the production Of
the letter in parliament together with
Lord Tweedmouth's reply, on the
ground that it is an attempt to in
'fluence the British minister respon-
for the navy in German interests.
In an angry editorial the Times
says that the letter will cause pain
full surprise and just indignation to
the British people,
Emperor William holds the hon
orary rank of admiral in the British
navy" says the Times, but if that is
held to warrant inference in our do
mestic affairs by secret appeals to
the head Of department on which
naval safety depends, all that can be
said is that the abolition Of dynastic
compliments Of this kind is an urgent
necessity. Had King Edward taken
such a step there would have been
an outcry of anger universal through
out Germany and an overwhelming
demand for doubled shipbuilding
program as fitting reply.
IF the emperor has anything to
suggest concerning arms" concludes
the Times, ''he has the regular official
channels Of communication and no
private relations can excuse depart
ure from the regular methods. Lord
Tweedmouth is public servant and
therefore it cannot be contended that
the letter is private matter. It calls
for the fullest publicity.
"The lesson for Great Britain is
plain after an attempt of this kind to
make it easier for German prepara-
tons to overtake our own"
