GERMANYS FRIENDSHIP
AMICABLE OVERTURES TO THE BRITISH. SYMPATHY FOR METHUEN. fly Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright BERLIN, Mar. 12. Baron von Richthofen, the German Minister of Foreign Affairs, speaking in the Diet, was cheered on acknowledging the facilities given for the distribution of gifts at the concentration camps. England’s national susceptibility, he said, was proportioned to her unflinching sacrifices oi' blood and treasure, and the heavy loss of excellent officers. He urged juster criticism, and quoted the German general's tulogism on the camp in Ceylon. Lord Methuen, he said, was deservjag of German sympathy. He, as an attache, had enjoyed his particular esteem. The Kaiser, he added, hoped that the British would accept their German cousins’ ambulances for the benefit of their common cousins in ■South Africa. The Boers objected to British ambulances, fearing divulgation of their operations.
