GERMAN HARVEST OF HATE.

DISMAY AMONG PEOPLE.

FOREIGN POLICY CRITICISED Times and Sydney Sun Service). ' ', London, June 20. A neutral observer writes " Some Germans are beginning to wonder what is the matter with Germany-" why she has no friends, why ..everyone is trying to stab her heart, and why she cannot keep the peace with nations hitherto neutral. Germany to-day has so many hatreds to cater for and bo many" enemies* to damn that she is not 'equal- to the, task. There are .signs indicating that a more sober spirit is replacing the ' Gott strafe' fever.< ; " Every day reveals more outspoken criticism of the foreign policy. The man in t the street'is beginning faintly to realise the* wide" gulf between ihe German right and the right of other peoples. , A welldefined cleavage is apparent on the, Italian question. The Prussians feel that the new war does not concern them. The Bavarians are enthusiastic at the Galician successes, which have elevated Austria in German esteem and more closely cemented the union. Henceforth German officers will act officially in all parts of Austro-Hungary." PRUSSIAN PESSIMISM. i GLOOMY PEACE OUTLOOK. Amsterdam, June 20. ■*. The President of the Upper House* of the Prussian Diet stated in the' course of a speech: "It has been repeatedly said that we must obtain a peace which will safeguard us against a repetition of the present attacks. It is my belief that no such peace is possible. The greater we emerge from the war the greater will be the endeavour of our adversaries to snatch away by a new coalition what we gained."
