A WAR SCARE.
THE KAISER’S RUSE.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, Jan. 9. The Berlin correspondent of the Morning Post reveals an audacious war scare in the German capital, with a view to securing augmentation of the German navy. Great Britain was represented as threatening an attack if the navy was increased.
Aocording to the correspondent’s friends, who claim to have had information from high officials, the Kaißer mobilised the German fleet at Kiel. Only King Edward’s personal efforts averted war. The correspondent adds that several of the Kaiser’s closest advisers encouraged the soare. All danger is now, however, averted, bat the navy remains mobilised. The Morning Post hopes the statements will be officially contradicted, and disproved.
