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.

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
