BERLIN, March 1t is the unex-
pectod which always happens in politics
as in anything else in this world. The
year of 1913, which had been prophe-
sled to bring nothing but disasters to
Germany, promises to become one OF
the happiest that Germany has ever
seen. One by one the dark clouds which
threatened the future of the German
empire are scattering, and everything
seems to show that the closing years
of the present kaiser S reign will bring
about harmony everywhere.
The recent speech by Admiral Won
Tirpitz in the rcichstag promises to
mark a turning point in Anglo o-German
relations, And although there is still
much work to be done, before the old
feeling Of mutual bitterness and suspi-
cion between that country and Germany
may truly be said to have given way to
trust and friendship, the German papers
like the Vossische Zeitung and others
that assert an agreement on the basis
Of sixteen English battleships TO ten

Another cloud which has been happily
dispersed is the old enmity between

Jingoes Go Unnoticed.

Anybody who notices the tone of the
German press as q whole cannot help
but see that even If few jingoes still
growl against England, their voices are
falling upon deaf ears, and England is
no longer daily proclaimed the newt
able and treacherous enemy, and ter
rifying visions Of impossible anti-Ger-
man coalitions have ceased TO rob the
German Michel Of his sleep.
Anglophobia in Germany, If not ac,
tually killed, has at least received a
serious knockout blow, The Vossische
says the fleet maniacs will find new dis
ciples for their doctrine Of inevitable
war, Certainly something is gained by
the fact that "inevitable war" has
been put further Off, and is no longer
an affair Of next spring or next autumn,
as it has been for some years. There
Is a breathing interval, giving time for
