BRITAIN AND GERMANY.

Berlin, Sept, x

In Germany there is being displayed the most violent Anglophobia since the Boer War. The newspapers discover sinister motives in General Sir John French’s present visit to French fortresses on the German frontier. Persistent enmity to England is

the keynote of most ot the newspaper articles. Several noisy anti-British meetings have been held in Berlin and other places. The newspaper Richpost states that the Moroccan negotiations are at a grave juncture owing to Britain’s sudden interference. “Germans,” adds the paper, “are weary of unending British intrigues, and feel sufficiently strong to make themselves a place in the firmament in spite of England’s impertinent veto.” The Emperor was wildly cheered in the Berlin streets. Berlin, Sept. 2. On quitting the parade ground, cheering crowds followed the Kaiser. A voice shouted : “Agadir ! Stand firm, William. The people are behind you.” The Sedan Day celebrations are exciting Germany’s warlike spirit, and stimulating hostility towards England, Every patriot is wearing a William the First cornflower in crape badges. Owing to the indisposition of M. Cambon, the German Ambassador, the conversation in reference to Morocco has been postponed till Monday. Berlin, Sept. 1. The naval review to be held at Kiel on Tuesday will be the most powerful display yet made by Germany, one hundred and twentynine vessels of all classes participating. Berlin, Sept. 2. Twelve hundred officers and thirty thousand men are afloat for the Kiel review. London, Sept. 3. The Continental Bourses are depressed over the Morocco situation.
