The President of the Eeiohstag cen sored Herr Liebermann, representa tive of Sonneberg, and an ianti-Se mite, for describing Mr Chamberlain as the most accursed scoundrel on God's earth, and the instigator of the ■wicked war ; and also describing the British Brmy as a pack of thieves. Count von Bulow, Imperial Chan cellor, concurring in the President’s censure, dep.ecated the tendency to vfflify foreign Ministers, and deeply regretted the attack on the British Army, Germsns, he said, were sen sitive of the honor of their own army, and ought not to abuse an army wherein men were ready enough and knowing bow to die. Germany did not intend to be diverted from her policy of neutrality with regard to South Africa, or in her friendly rela tions with Britain, whereto Germany was bound by permanent weighty in terests. The task was not rendered easier by the incident latterly discuss ed, and he hoped such incidents would not recur, rendering it more difficult to maintain an attitude of harmony, German and English interests were alike promoted by the peace of the world. Count von Bulow’s speech was greeted with cheers. The Times and Standard make ve hement protests against Count von Bulow’s differentiating between Mr Chamberlain and the country, and al so for his failure to repudiate the known calumnies against the British Army. The feeling of estrangement from Germany is widening. The Times says that Count von Bulow’s mild rebuke of Herr Lieber mann was quite insufficient, and that he ought to publish the reports of the military attaches and officials in South Africa showing that British soldiers were as human and generous as they were fearless. The limit of British patience would be overstepped if Count von Bulow imagined himself able to court British friendship while simultaneously wiping Parliamentary feet on the British uniform.
