FRIENDLY BRITISH SPEECHES
Are Cordially Re- echoed in Govern
nent Circles at Berlin.

Berlin, Nov. 2s.-The coneiliatory
tone of the speeches of British Foreign
Secretary Sir Edward Grey and Pre-
mier Asquith and their expressed de-
sire for improved relations between
Germany and England in the future are
cordially re-eehoed in government cir
eles here. 1T is SCIENTIFICALLY added
however, that the British government
will soon have an opportunity to dem
onstrate the sincerity Of the diselaim-
er of its ministers of the theory that
one of the aims of British policy is
to stand in the way of German eS-
pansion and to block its every pro-
jeet.
No indication is given as to the field
in which this opportunity will occur
shut the tombstone will perhaps be
found in the Bagdad Railway.
In reference to that enterprise il is
announced. today. that Emperor Will
liam has asked DR.. Arthur Won Gwin-
ner, managing director of the Deutsch
Bank. which is financially interested
in the project to prepare report and
submit it to him after his return to
Berlin on Dec. II.
II, as Premier Asquith says, Great
Britain does not desire to stand in
the light of any other nation seeking
its place in the sun, 1t is possible to
manifest this by the attitude of Great
Britain takes toward the completion
of the big railway project in Asatic
Turkey.
The German foreign office does not
wish to comment i'll more detail on
yesterdays debate in the House of
Commons, as it is heartily DESTROYS of
having a clean slate in regard to past
events. This restraint, however, cam
not be expected to be observed in va
rious quarters of the Reichstag when
the question comes up again, next
week. At the same time it is believed
that one point in Sir Edward Grey's
statement must be combatted. If Eng
land wished for assurances with re-
gard to Germany's intentions at
Agadir, she could have requested them
through her ambassador in Berlin.
Germany cannot be assailed for not
proffering what had not been request
ed in the regular diplomatic way.

document that most of them regard as
the most important Mr.. Taft has ever
written for the benefit of Congress.
Owing to the length of the session

WANTS NO MORE TELEPHONES
Statement Regarding Morgan Made in
Kansas City by GIeed.

Kansas City, Feb. 13.-"J. P. Nor
gan & Co., are not buying telephone
properties. They have no use for any
more than they already own"
This statement was made last night
by G. s. Gleed, president of the Mis-
souri, & Kansas Telephone company
while discussing the many reports
that have gained publicity in the last
week that Mr.. Morgan is busy buying
up independent telephone companies
throughout the country.
Mr.. Gleed also said that the state
mentS sent out from St. Louis last
Wednesday claiming the purchase by
Mr.. Morgan of independent telephone
lines in several eastern and western
cities were incorrect.
Regarding the rumors of a sale or
merger of the two telephone lines in
Kansas City. Mr.. Gleed said that no
such deal had been made.
TT lis my understanding" he said,
that a proposition has been made to
Mr.. Helm, president of the Home Tele-
phone company, as to terms on which
trade can be made, but it is uncer-
tain as to whether these terms can be
agreed upon.
IF one is made at any time in any
form the public will know about it
promptly, as the Bell people will, un-s
der no circumstances, do anything
not pleasing to the public. The Bell
company would like to own the Home
properties, but very naturally the
Home owners place a higher value on
their property than the Bell can see
In 1t.
Both companies continually are
importuned by the public to do away
with the nuisance of two services and
the Bell at least would like to satisfy
the demand, but Kansas City rates are
unremunerative and the amount of
investment to be lost by merger
would be enormous. There are also
legal difficulties which perhaps would
prevent a deal. But the whole sub.
ject is receiving most careful consid-
Grafton and purchase or merger
may result although the chances in my.
opinion are largely against it.
