REMARKABLE.

EXCITEMENT IN GERMANY. REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATIONS. KING EDWARD'S VISIT. Received February 10, 8.30 a.m. BERLIN, February 9. The granting by the Kaiser of permission to allow a civic welcome to King Edwara, in addition to the official reception, lead to remarkable demonstrations. Berlin has never displayed such enthusiasm to a visitor, despite thirteen public Socialist meetings of protest. The people are delighted at the prospect of better relations between Germany and Britain, but there is no sign of any reduction of armaments.

A ROYAL BANQUET. \~ " Received February 10. 10.35 p.m. BERLIN, February 10. At a banquet at the Royal Castle in honour of the visit of King Edward and Queen Alexandra 160 guests were present. The Kais. j r warmly toasted the visitors markedly associating the whole of his people with his own view that the visit, besides being a token of friendship, was a pledge of the future peaceful friendly relations of the two countries. The Kaiser added: "I know how much our wishes for the preservation and strengthening of peace are in accord. lam firmly convinced that the visit will contribute to the realisation of these our wishes." King Edward, in an equally cordial reply, concluded by remarking: —"The visit aims at strengthening the friendly relations of the two countries, and thus at the preservation of the general peace, towards which all my endeavours are directed,"

PRESS COMMENTS. Received February ID, 11.25 p.m. BERLIN, February 10. The German newspapers publish long reports of King Edward's and Queen Alexandra's magnificent reception by all classes of the population. The "Vosseisch Zeitung" says that the visit is proof that the coldness which existed between the two Courts is a thing of the past. It would not be Germany's fault if the visit is not the beginning of a better understanding between the two kindred peoples. Some German Conservative papers

. arc unsympathetic. The "Reichsbate" revives the ciarge of King Edward's attempt to isolate Germany and destroy the Triple Alliance. The "Borset Zeitung" declares that the conversations between the monarchs will contain no reference to disarmament. The "Fremdenblatt" (Vienna) says that it is the Eastern crisis and the community of the peaceful interests which nas drawn Britain and Germany closer together.
