BULOW EXPLAINS.
Germany Loves England,
.freaa Association.—tjonynjrm
Berlin, Wednesday. In jke course of his speech in the Reichstag on the Imperial Estimates, Count Yon Bulow, commenting on the Dardanelles incident, said that Germany's failure to support Britain did not imply, hostility, but was in accord with the traditional policy of the Fatherland and its geographical position, which imposed a peaceful and an impartial neutrality. The attitude of the British newspapers towards Germany, he declared, was due to Continental press attacks on British policy in South Africa. Germany's policy had been shaped in barmony with her permanent interests. Horace's line—" Quicquid delirant reges plectuntur achivi " (" The follies their kings commit the Greeks are scourged for') —was nowadays reversed. It was the people who did the mischief, and the rulers who smarted. Continuing, the Chancellor said he rejoiced that the relations between Britain and Germany were unchanged. He would continue to follow on old, tried, discreet, and friendly lines, impelled by many important interests to agree to peace and friendship.
