IS GERMANY OUR FRIEND?

LONDON TIMES' DOUBTS. A TRENCHANT ARTICLE ON THE KAISER'S VISIT. PRINCE BUELOWS ACTIONS traversed. PROOF OF REPENTANCE FOR PAST SLANDERS WANTED. Received Oft. 10th, 10..V London, October 10. The Times, in a weighty leader de ilinng with the Kaiser's visit to Eugland, and the rumor that Prince Buelow accompanies him, comments on Prince Buelow's attempts to convey to the British public that he is exceedingly anxious for the establishment of cordial relations. The Times notes that Prince Buelow does not exert himself to create the same impression among the Basseimans, Keims, and Lieberts. This is a reference to the recent Anglophobia speeches. The Times continues: "Possibly the 'Anglo-French entente, and the AngloRusaian agreement, and the fact that some Tears must elapse and many more millions be spent !>efore Germany ran build and accommodate any considerable 1 number of Dreadnoughts. sngirc-ted The ' desirability of cultivating, at present, ' Britain's goodwill. 1 "We prefer to think that Prince Bue- ( low regrets and wishes to efface the ' recollection of insults and calumnies he allowed to lie hurled at us, and our sol- 1 diers, with mere faint-hearted remon- 1 strance, though he knew, from the German officers' report, th't tho-e J ehartres were false an dmalignmt. ® •TTlis proof has not been fonnd at " the Hague Conference, nor in any mark- f ed degree in Germany's treatment of ' the latest phase of the Moroccan ones- u Won which, while correct, has not been wholly reassuring. "Onr policy has not changed since Sir Edward Orey declared that Tair and good relations between Germany and France are the condition of anv imjnwement in public relations betwe-n Germany and onrselves."
