Show Germans Don't Like Mediation. Berlin papers devote considerable attention to President McKinley's consent con-sent to mediate, and the comment is all unfavorable. Surprise is generally expressed that Washington takes Chinese Chi-nese official news seriously. The Berliner Tageblatt complains that the United States government is "so convinced con-vinced of the wisdom of its China policy that it is preparing in advance to lay the blame for its non-success on governments less credulous than President Presi-dent McKinley and Secretary Hay." The paper goes on to show that "the United States has been taken in tow by China." |
