BULOW'S WORK.

GERMANY UNDER WILLIAM 11. RISE OF THE FLEET. FOREIGN POLICY DEVELOPS. By Telceraul)—Prcfs Assoeiatien—Copyrifcht (Hoc. November .30, 5.5 p.m.) Berlin, November 29. "ho most interesting part of Prince Hulow's forthcoming work, "Germany bnder William tho Second," relates to the attitudeof Britain and that of France towards Germany. Franco would attack Germany if and "when she thought she was strong enough, but England would only attack if she concluded that sho could carry through vital economical and political interests against Germany by force. The of England's political attitudo was national egotism—France's, national idealism. Now that Germany possessed sufficient power by naval defence, her relations with England can bo genuinely and unreservedly friendly. Iho Kaiser laboured whole-heartedly to establish good relationship. Germany's position has changed compared with fifteen years ago, when tho problem was to avoid conflict with England until tho fleet was built. In those days Germany's foreign policy was subserved to the armaments problem. iSow that the correct relationship lias been re-established and armaments subservient to tiio foreign ixdicy, slio needs Jio longer to anxiously avoid injury threatening her safety on land or 011 sea by England. But sho may yet throw her power into tiio scale for the defence of her honour and her interests against England on sea as she- did for * centuries against ,the Continental Powers on land. This, Prince Mow attributes to Willinm's personal concention of a great fleet in 189".
