The simultaneous presence of Lord Haldane, Lord Charles Beresford, and
Sir Ernest Cassel in Berlin has given rise to a good deal of sensational and conjectural comment in the German and British Press, Lord Haldane's visit is under- stood to be connected with educational matters, and to have no directly official character, but as he has already met the Imperial Chancellor, soon after a visit paid to the latter by the Emperor, it is clear that the opportunity is being utilized for political conversations. As the French and Russian ambassadors both called on Sir Edward Grey on Thursday, it may be assumed that their Governments will be kept acquainted with the purport of such conversations.
