GERMAN VIEWS OF THE CONFERENCE.

"ENGLAND CAN BUILD WHAT SHE LIKES."(Received June 15, 8.20 a.m.) BERLIN, June 14. Very incomplete reports of the speeches of statesmen-( at the Press Conference were published in the Berlin newspapers, but the unofficial organs are vacillating between the views already cabled, alleging panic, and the opinion that the Conference is the prelude to sober, business-like actions. A semi-official telegram from Berlin to the Cologne Gazette states that "Britain is a grown-up nation, and knows what naval armaments are good for it. The German people object to what underlies these armaments, namely, a, substratum of unjustified mistrust of Germany; but there is not the slightest disposition to interfere with these armaments. So far as we are concerned England can build as many 'Dreadnoughts' as she likes without our feeling any patriotic uneasiness in consequence."
