*'A. » tyw * T^J^T'^. WV*" * < ( ' *••■ ”•.■*-■' ‘fZ W" THE DAILY RECORD, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1908. J* 636. LONDON LETTER. (From our own correspondent.) London, March 7th. The publication by the Times of a letter from its military correspondent respecting the existence of a communication from the Kaiser to Lord Tweed- mouth on our naval policy has caused a great stir in political circles. With the bare facts of the controversy as it at present stands your readers are doubtless acquainted, but it is still a little diffi cult to judge off-hand whether the matter is likely to assume grave dimensions. One must conclude that until the letter is made public all responsible opinion will be more or less withheld; and, failing this, we must at least await Lord Tweedmouth’s promised statement in the House of Lords on Mon day. That every effort is being made by con scientious journals to avoid any aggravation of ill- feeling between the two nations goes without saying, and this attitude is in contrast to that of the Times itself, whose sensitiveness to German feeling is per haps a little abnormal. In weighing the probabil ities of the matter, one should certainly take this sensitiveness into account. As the Spectator points out, the uncompromising denunciation of yesterday’s leading article will only be justified by the absolute accuracy of its information and the patent justice of its conclusions. It has in this undertaken a very grave responsibility, but perhaps not more grave than in the persistently mistrustful tone adopted towards Germany in many of its recent articles. A direct personal challenge is an immediate incite ment to hostility, but cumulative disparagement is equally sure to attain the same end in the long run. In the worst of cases, one would imagine, it would be superfluous, both in this country and in Germany, to read into a simple indiscretion more than was ever dreamt of by its authors. Never theless, it is a little hard to accept in complete justification of the correspondence the defence that it was private, and in no sense official. The Kaiser, like Lord Tweedmouth, is a Fachmann where naval matters are concerned, and any exchange of views is therefore bound to have a significance beyond those of dilettante statesmen. To maintain seriously that the Kaiser hoped to influence the British Naval Estimates by trying to prove to the First Lord of the Admiralty that the British Fleet is five times as strong as the German is ludicrous; to impute on the other hand, that Lord Tweedmouth’s expert knowledge is subject in such a degree to outside influences that it can affect his principles of policy is clearly unfair. While no doubt he fully appreciates the Kaiser’s graciousness in communicating to him his views, the mere fact that Lord Tweedmouth imparted the information to a number of friends unofficially is a sign of the way in which he regarded the com munication—namely, as a perfectly friendly, and in this aspect, a perfectly rational statement of opinion not intended to have a bearing an political relations. Assuming, however, the incorrectness of this view, the implication against Lord Tweedmouth is entirely sinister. In this connection the anti-German feeling of the Times must be weighed against its natural reluctance to take too heavy a risk in- the impu tation of motives, although in any case it minimises the danger to itself by making the Ka’-ser rather than Lord Tweedmouth the object of aggression. But, again, this very uneveness in the distribution of blame reduces the plausibility of the attack, since it is not likely that a diplomatist of any experience (and the Kaiser is by this time more than a be ginner in foreign politics) would venture so boldly on untried soil. As the Berliner Tageblatt says, not even the well-known impulsiveness of His Ma jesty is likely to lead him into an attempt at this sort of influence. “How can one keep fit in London?” is a question that young men accustomed to the sport-worship of public school and University are constantly asking themselves, when duty or pleasure takes them to the metropolis; and now that the season of youth’s delights is about to begin in good earnest the question is beginning to have a pathetic ring. Sallow faces, eyes adorned with the heliotrope rings of late nights, much dancing and many cigarettes, mouths drooping in unnatural melancholy, a listless air breathing the spirit of Ouida and Miss Braddon—these are sights which the vernal sun reveals to the passer-by morning after morning in Hyde Park, in the labyrinths around the Stock Exchange, in Pall Mall, in Regent Street, and in modified, infinitely imitative echoes in the wilds of Kilburn or the avenues of Peckham. We are hard put to it to know what to do with our young men. If they are very rich they are so dissipated, one is assured, that exercise becomes a burden, a single game of polo being sufficient to put them hors de combat for a fortnight. If they are very poor they are so busy all day at the office and so tired when they get home that a gentle saunter is sufficient to exhaust them. If they strike the happy mean, and have a couple of hours to spare, they need an hour or an hour-and- a-half to get from the scene of business to the scone of recreation—whether it be golf or tennis or cricket or a late canter in the Park—and this leaves a small margin for actual exercise. As a result our poor young man is reduced to getting all his exercise in a lump at the week-end. But, to be honest, this arrangement does not seem to work at all badly. Perhaps it is that one is over-exercised in one’s early days and needs the reaction of a little judicious physical rest. At all events, young men accustomed to the most strenuous existence for years have expressed their astonishment to me at their extraordinary fitness, despite the fact that apart from their morning walk to the City they live quite without exercise. Of course we have our cranks as well, and these are never truly happy unless they spend at least three hours a day with their blood at boiling point, preferably in a sodden field and in drizzling rain. You will find them often enough enduring the tor ture of office life unrelieved by a gust of damp, chilly air; and, really, they seem to stand it very well, though their complainings are bitterly de pressing. Cranks robbed of exercise are wont to fall back on diets as a substitute. You may find them lunching on bread and cheese at an A. B. C. shop, or tinkering their systems at the Eustace Miles Restaurant. In these stern days when one must bow to the force of conviction but one can only pity those who are dragged into the circle of the cranks by circumstances which assume the guise of con viction through sheer necessity. These unfortunate people, whom one sees cheek by jowl with the cranks in - vegetarian eating - places and such like, people with taut, hollow faces and eyes of a sus piciously dry brightness, point the moral, if anything does, to the stupidity of bothering too much as to what is the mathematically correct way of treating our systems. But it is a pity to waste indignation or serious remonstrance on people determined to try experiments, I have heard of only one man who absolutely came of grief, and he probably de served to, for he persisted in eating nothing but oranges until he died. In contrast to this tragic reversal of accepted custom, I know of one man (and indeed I frequently see him) who subsists on noth ing but a biscuit a day and innumerable monkey nuts—or it may be Brazil nuts; I am not quite sure. He is the rosiest, chubbiest mortal in the world, and one of the happiest. Signs of Spring are showing themselves in the London streets. There is a great abundance of violets on the trays of the flower sellers, and daffodils, crocusses, lilies-of-the-valley, and Japanese roses run them close. Otherwise we are still steeped in the gloom of February, though we are already at the end of the beginning of March. A friend who has been staying for the last few days in Derbyshire tells me that things looked very wintry in that Arctic county, which has been com pletely covered by snow. In other parts of the country there has been less cold, but the outlook for golf or hockey is still very poor; as for those of us who like a simple walk across country, we had better look elsewhere. Dry fields and decent roads are not to be had on this side of the Channel. DRESDEN CHURCH SERVICES: DRESDEN. All Saints’ (English) Church, Wiener Strasse. Tuesday, March 10th. 10.0 a.m. Matins.
