PRINCE VON BULOW’S HOPES.

Prince Von Billow’s contribution to aj work in three volumes to be entitledj “Germany under Wilhelm II.” consti-j tutes probably one-tenth of the entire r work and is a well-reasoned and wellwritten review oi the recent home and foreign policy of the Empire. The: visit of King Edward to Berlin in 1909 is treated by Von Bulow as indirectly j connected with the new position in j Continental politics which Germany | had won by her Bosnian policy. He | speaks of the friendly reception given j 1 to the King and of the King’s repeated recognition of the friendship and cordiality shown to him in the German j capital. “With this visit began for the future new hopes not only with, regard to the King’s attitude towards Germany, but also with regard to the mutual relations of two great nations who have every reason to respect one another and to compete with one another in the work of peace.” And again—“ Recoils in Anglo-German relations may, of course, occur. The recoil in the summer of 1911 was indeed pretty vehement. But the attempt to make Anglo-German differences a part of the system of general interj national politics will hardly be repeated. and should f it ever be repeated will j finds its limits in the hard facts of Contnental policy, the hardest of which is the Triple Alliance.”
