British Hostility Due to Jealousy
at Growth of Kaiser's Kingdom.

BERLIN. July 20 (via London).-
The Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
began the publication to-day of n series
Of documents purporting to be secret
Belgian diplomatic reports found in
Brussels by the Germans. and describ-
ing international political events from
the time Of the Moroccan crisis until
the beginning Of the present conflict
The purpose Of their publication is to
prove that Germany maintained
peaceful attitude throughout this
period.
The papers published to-day include
alleged reports made to Baron de Fav-
ereau. former Belgian Foreign Minister.
by Count dc La Laing. former Belgian
minister to England: Baron Greindl.
minister to Berlin; Baron Lcghait. at
Paris. and Count Dursel. charge daft
flares. at Berlin.
These reports date from 1905. and
deal with European politics. especially
the attitude OF the triple entente to-
wards Germany.
Count La Laing and Baron Greindl
are quoted as having reported in Feb
ruary, 1905. that British hostility to
Germany was caused by jealousy at the
latter nations commercial and naval
growth. La Laing is said TO have as
serted that the British feared the days
OF their naval supremacy were num-
bered.
A statement attributed to Baron
Leghait writing under date of May Z,
1905, was that while King Edward was
in Paris he said the confidence exist
ing between Germany and France had
disappeared. and conditions were like
those twenty years earlier.
Baron Greindl is said to have been
the author of a letter written Septem-
Der 23, 1905. praising the Dreibund, led
by Germany, for having maintained
European peace for thirty years. and
declaring the new disposition Of the
British feet was unquestionably di-
rected against Germany. The same
minister is quoted as having asserted
in n later letter that King Edward
was hostile to Germany. and that Ger
many's isolation was the aim of British
policy.
