“THE GATES OF HELL”

INFLUENCE OF THE KAISER. IN KEEPING THEM CLOSED. ENGLAND’S FOREIGN POLICY. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received Nov. 24, 10.45 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 24. The motion which Sir Ed, Grey moves on Monday will be that the foreign policy of the Government bo now considered. It is noticeable that the "Times" and many other leading newspapers, have been editorially silent regarding Herr Yon Kiderlin Wach tor’s statement.

Mr John Brunner, presiding at the National Liberal Federation at Bath, declared tiliat he was grateful to the Kaiser for using his influence in the direction of peace (cheers). An angry word from him would open the gates of hell.

Continuing, the speaker said: "I tender him my warm thanks. Will you join?" After a unanimous response, Mr Brunner added that he trusted Sir Ed. Grey’s speech would calm angry feelings, and be the backing to the Kaiser’s silence.

Sir J. A. Simon urged that the relations between the great powers now depend as a last resort on the views of the common people, and they should take one band of the common people, and another of friendship to France. "This did not mean they were the enemy of anybody.” He suggested the meeting should send a message to the democracy of Germany, declaring the idea of ill-feeling between them and England could not be tolerated. (Cheers.) UNWAVERING ATTITUDE. THROUGHOUT NEGOTIATIONS. (Received Nov. 24. 11.45 p.m.) LONDON. Nov. 24. The newspapers pay unanimous and grateful tributes to Sir Edward Grey’s unwavering attitude throughout the Moroccan crisis.

EAGERLY EXPECTED

sir Edward grey’s speech

(Received Nov. 24. 11.45 p.-m.) BERLIN, Nov. 24. The newspapers are eagerly expectant of Sir Edward Grey’s speech.

Many are bitter towards Britain, and some semi-official organs are endeavoring to throw upon the forthcoming speech and British public opinion the responsibility of the continuance of what the "Cologne Gazette’’ describes as the "'mistrustful and unfriendly relations," or the turning of the present condition of affairs into a better channel.
