London, Nov. 2S.-The House OF
Lords, tonight. discussed Anglo Ger
man affairs without arriving at any
fresh revelations. Lord Courtney. Lib
eral. attacked the government and
Lansdowne defended 1t.
Lord Courtney desired to know why
Great Britain could not come to an
arrangement with Germany as she did
with France, Russia and the United
States. He declared that Chancellor
Lloyd George had made an outburst OF
which no Englishman could be proud.
That naturally promoted ill-feeling In
Germany and brought the country into
real peril of war.
Viscount Morley said the entente of
1904 was an agreement that Great
Britain should have free hand in
Egypt and France free hand in Mo-
rocco. Great Britain had had her
share of the profits and 1t would be
intolerable If they refused France here.
1.-THE whole nation,' continued Lord
Morley, Immensely desires friendship
with Germany. There is no reason why
the German naval program should di-
minish the desire. but we must con-
slider all the circumstances
He declared that Sir Edward Grey
hae said everything possible to en-
courage better feeling. No cabinet
ever met with more intent of not drift

that Lieut.. Gen. Feng Kwo Chang,
commander OF the Imperial troops at

The foreign settlements suffered
