MAGNIFICENT REVIEW AT KIEL.

[UNITED PBES3 ASSOCIATION--COPYEIGHT.3

TANGIER, Sept. 5. Germans affirm that German warships remain at Agadir till the Manncsmanns (a wealthy German syndicate) have secured all the mining interests at Sus. MADRID, Sept. 5. The intended occupation of Ifne by Spain has been deferred. BERLIN, Sept. 5. Senseless stories about the Morocco negotiations caused a run on the Stettin Savings Bank. The Kaiser reviewed ninety-nine ships at Kiel, in addition to submarine and torpedo-boats.

GERMANY IN HER MIGHT.

AN INSPIRING SPECTACLE

(Received Sept. 6, 10.50 p.m.) BERLIN, Sept. 6. The Bourse showed a better tone today. The Navy League lias organised many excursions to Kiel. The warships are effectively grouped and are anchored in single file, extending for nine miles. As the Royal yacht Hohenzollern, with the Kaiser aboard, followed by the battleship Deutschland, and many excursion steamers, steamed down the guns. The spectacle was magnificent, and as the crews —in their white jumpers—stood at attention, they presented a smart and workman-like appearance. The great crowds of spectators were impressed with Germany’s strength. At the conclusion of the review the Kaiser boarded the Deutschland and watched the tactical manoeuvres of the big craft.

WORKERS’ CONGRESS MANIFESTO

SOCIAL DEMOCRATS CRITICISED

A manifesto lias been issued by the committee of the Workman’s Congress representing 1,250,000 of_ the members of Christian and patriotic unions. It expresses the hope that peace will be preserved, and denounces the anti-pa-triotic attempt of the social democracy to seize on Germany’s critical position in order to prepare for social evolution. The manifesto declares that the Social Democracy’s advocacy of political and generol strike in the event of warlike complications is calculated to arouse the impression that resistance in that case would be enfeebled, and to 'incite foreign countries to forcibly prevent the peaceful development of Germany and her world trade.

“THERE WILL BE NO WAR.”

GERMAN PRESS COMMENT

(Received Sept. 7, 12.10 a.m.) BERLIN. Sept. 6. Two and a-lialf million marks have been withdrawn from tiie Stettin Savings Bank, the public believing that m the event of mobilisation the Savings Bank deposits can be commandeered. The North-German Gazette says:— “France and German negotiations may now be expected to proceed more smoothly.” The “Lokal Anzeiger” declares that Morocco business is purely plutocratic. France is being pushed on by greedy speculators and capitalists. Pacification as regards Morocco will be similar to the experience of the Boer War waged by England. It must be regarded as a purely commercial and capitalistic undertaking.” The journal also urges that if France obtains full satisfaction politically, German statesmen must minutely examine the safeguards of her commercial interests of the future, ensuring to Germany complete freedom of^ trade. The “Cologne Gazette’* holds: ■ ‘There will he no war. as France realises that a march to Fez through Berlin would be too dangerous. Nobody in Germany thinks ill of France for' wanting to pocket Morocco, . as Tunis and Egypt- have been pocketed. The German feeling towards Britain is different. Few believe tlie British assurances that Britain does not intend to injure Germany, as the intentions of British diplomacy are too obvious.”

FEELING IN FRANCE.

NEGOTIATIONS SHOULD NOT

LAG.”

PARIS, Sept. 6. There is a strong feeling against allowing the negotiations with Germany to lag indefinitely. The Bourse shows a hotter tone.
