TREATY CAUSES SURPRISE IN
GERMANY.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.—
' ' London, May 9. In* the negotiations between France and Japan for an alliance for the maintenance of the status quo in the Far East, Siam us excluded from consideration. :
BERft.V, May 9;
The negotiations between France and Japan have taken the German newspapers by surprise. The majority of the newspapers applaud the alliance as an instrument for the consolidation of peace.
A few of the newspapers interpret the negotiations as another insidious attack on German policy, ■ and one describes the alliance as a manifest sign of King Edward's " omnipresent and omnipotent hand."
Siam is excluded doubtless because its territorial rights are now guaranteed, under treaties between Great Britain and France.
