ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS.

ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT ARTICLE. VERY PLAIN HINTS. United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright. (Received September sth, 11.8 p.m.) BERLIN, September 5. The "Deutsche Revue" describes the meeting of Kin_ Edward and the Kaiser as the most momentous event of the month. It mentions tho negotiations now proceeding between Great Britain and Russia at St. Petersburg regarding Tibet in. order to avoid friction there, and declares that it is Sir Edward Grey's desire to arrange a stable condition on the frontier, and •reduce the expenses of the army in India. The "Revuo" remarks that once negotiations concerning Central Asia ore settled, and should negotiations proceed regarding the nearer East, Sir Edward Grey will certainly bo prepard to come to terms with Germany concerning the latter's interest there.

The paper continues by saying that tho ico was broken at Fredrichshof, in the sense that Sir Edward Grey did not identify himself with those seeking bo isolate Germany diplomatically, but would meet Germany with confidence. An Anglo-German understanding is the best guarantee of peace for Franco - . As regards naval expansion, Great Britain must reconcile hejiself to the thought of seeing the German fleet occupy alongside hers a position of commanding and imposing respect. A year ago tho belief existed in Germany that relations with Groat Britain were analagous to those existing between Prussia and Austria in 18G6, and that in all probability a cordial understanding must be preceded by a sharp enooumter. The estrangement underlying tliat belief is past, and both may feel confident that a cordial agreement is possible without a previous anmed conflict.

"Tho Times" regards the article as inspired by the highest quarters.
