FRANCO-GERMAN RELATIONS. BERLIN, December 1. Bulow’s contribution to the book on Germany under William 11, which is now being published, is arousing considerable interest in the press and elsewhere. Prince von Bulow emphasises the fact that France’s irreconcilability is a factor that Germany must never forget. There is but a feeble hope of a real and sincere reconciliation so long as Germany shows no intention of abandoning Alsace-Lor-raine. In dealing with Morocco, he declares that the Anglo-French agreement of 1904 was obviously aimed against Germany, France thereby intending to strike a blow at German prestige, and hoping later, with England’s help, to come to a decisive reckoning with Germany. Prince von Bulow insists that King Edward persistently advocated hemming in Germany. He repeats the statement that on King Edward’s advice the Kaiser visited Tangier in 1905. He skims lightly over the resignation of M. Delcasse, omitting to mention that he threatened France with war unless Delcasse resigned. He claims-, the merit of instituting amicable Anglo-German relations, whereas it is well known that the improved feeling was undoubtedly duo to King Edward’s foresight in seeing that Prince von Bulow’s political days were numbered.
