FRIENDS ONCE MORE.

HOW BRITAIN PLEASED GERMANY.

BITTER FEELING DISAPPEARING

(Sydney Sun Cable.) FREMANTLE, June 17. Among the people who arrived at Fremantle by yesterday’s mailboat was Chevalier L.' Hatazzi. Consul for German-. ;n West Australia, and local manager for the Norddeutschor Lloyd, lit has ilist returned from a trio to the Continent. When asked whether the ieelim between Groat Britain and Germany was now r.' v more cordial lie replied: “There is no doubt that a strong frio.iO.Jv feeling now exists between the two countries. It was 18 inontos since 1 made my last trip to Germany, and 1 was much' imoressed with the entire '’ha™'?- of feeling that had t’ten place in that country, Yon could fool it as vou moved about so to speak. 1 course, it is bard for a casual visitor to arrive at a determination of this dislinet revolution of feeling, but I am inclined to think it is mainly due to Great Britain’s attitude over the reeent ' Balkan war. Although Great Britain had'nothing to benefit bv opposing Turkey during these hostilities, and apparently a lot. to lose, she passively worked with the Triple Alliance.

That act has aroused a great deal of admiration for her in Gorman v.

“Then the marriage of the Gnelphs must have helped along the, friendliness. I left before those festivities took place, but there is no doubt that the visit of their Majesties must have helped along The new friendly feeling for Groat Bri tain.” “It has been stated by cab'e tlnd there is a scarcity of money owing tithe people hoarding all their spare cash. Did you come across any evfd/ice of thisf”

“No. I did not. As a matter of tact, Germany has never been so prosperous. Sue is progressing wonderfully in an industrial manner, and there appears to be plenty of money about. I did read, however. that Germany was collecting a million marks for the purpose of adding to the numerical strength of her army.’' 0

“ LET THEM STARVE.” CURE FOR SUFFRAGETTES. UNSYMPATHETIC FRENCHWOMEN. LONDON, Juno 17, The famous Paris weakly, Los Aumiles, asked the leaders of the iciniuism' movement in Franco for their opinion of the -English' Suffragettes.

Juliette Adam, one of the founders of the “Third. Republic,'’ said she would rigorously apply the law to them and give them a demonstration of the equality they claimed. "Gyp,’’ the well-known woman writer, said that if the imprisoned Suffragettes threatened to -starve themselves she • would let them do so. Raphildc thought they were merely the victims, of hysteria, and ought to be scut to asylums. SUFFRAGETTE’S FUNERAL. LONDON, Juno 17.
