THE GERMAN " INCIDENT."
To-D-.y's telegrams indicata that the German press ia showing a dis position to close the " incident" to adopt ihe jhtase used to cover up a most splenetic and unprovoked attack. It is as weU that there Bhould be an e:rly close to it. for feeling was growing so intense that worse Ihings might easily have followed. If Britain'^ " clear neighbours " on the Continent have eyes to pee and st-nse3 to understand, they will appreciate better than they did a fortnight ago, that by such " incidents " the JBrifcuh Empire is moro strongly welded together. Chamberlain has shown hia genius by turning the affair to ac count in declaring tbat colonial sympathy outweighs the rivals' threats veiled or unveiled, and the attitude of the colonies has shown that he understands their spirit. The British empire over the seas and the influence her colonies will have before long are beginning to bs appreciated, and when fully appreciated will make for peace more strongly than pacts with European Powers
