GERMANY AS MEND.

THE "TIMES" SCEPTICAL PAST INSULTS AND PRESENT PROFESSIONS. SOME PROOFS WANTED. By Telegraph—Association—Copyright. (Rec. Oct. 10, 10.9 p.m.) London, October 10. "The Times," in a woighty leador dealing with tho Kaiser's approaching visit to England and tho rumour that Prince Bulow (the Chancellor) will accompany him, comments on Prince Bulow's attempts to convoy to tho British public that ho is exceedingly anxious for tho establishment of cordial rolations between Gormany and Great, Britain, "Tho Timos" notes that Princo Bulow did not exort himself to crcato tho samo impression among tho Bassermans, Keims, and Lioberts. This is in reference to recent Anglophobe speeches. " Tho Times " continues: —" Possibly tho Anglo-French entente, the AngloRussian Agreomont, and the fact that somo yeors must elapse and that many more millions must bo spent before Germany can build and accommodato any considerable numbor of Dreadnoughts; has suggosted tho desirability of cultivating at present Britain's goodwill. Wo prefer .to think that Princo Bulow regrets, and wishes to efface, the recollection of tho insults and calumnies, ho allowed'to be hurled at us and our soldiers with moro faint-hearted remonstrance on his part, though he know from the reports of Gorman officers, that those charges woro falso and malignant. All wo ask is proof that tho repentance of thoso wronging us is sincere.

"TJiis proof has hot boon- found at Tho Hague Peaco Conference, rior in any marked dojgrco in Germany's treatment of tho latest phase of tho Moroccan question, whioh, whilo correct, has not boon wholly reassuring.. Our policy has not changed sinco Sir Edward Grey (British Ministor for Foreign Affairs) declared that fair.and good, rolations botwoen Gormany and Franco are tho condition of any improvement in tho public relations between Germany and oursolvcs."

Horr Liobert, ox-Govornor of Gorman Bast Africa, recently declared that Germany must set herself to out-distanco Ijtagland; also. that tho Gorman Navy must be moro rapidly ' A Franco-German understanding has been talked about. Princo Von Bulow, interviewed by the .""Figaro" in July, is reported' aB saying that an improvement in relations had. begun, but infinite tact and pationce were needed if an understanding was to be reached. Ho was delighted to seo so many Frenchmen at tho Kiel rngatta.
