Special Lispatch o The Call. SEATTLE, Jan. 1l.—That William Walsh, formerly port engineer of the Northwestern Steamship Company, has fled to San Francisco to escape prosecu- tion on a charge of grafting is the belief of steamship officiais. Walsh, who is wealthy, had charge of the repairsito the boats of the company. It is said he en- tered into an agreement with a shipwright to do all the repairing, and overcharge the company 25 per cent, giving Walsh the overcharge. The shipwright, it is said, informed the company. Walsh was given the money for the shipwright and press as the leader of British opinion and feeling to discontinue this preju- dice, which automatically casts sus- picion on every act of German policy; for we are sincerely convinced that if only this fog of prejudice could be dis- pelled no step which the German Gov- ernment is likely to take and no feel- ings which the German people may harbor can ever rightly endanger the friendship between the two nations.” FINDS A HEARTY RESPONSE.

Neither have we met anybody in Germany who credited the Govérnment with any intention or plan to war with England. GERMANY NOT SEEKING WAR. “The naval policy of the Government, whether approved or resisted, is every- where in Germany understood to be di- rected solely to provide what the Gov- ernment deems to be adequate protec- tion for the growing mass of German shipping. Certainly it is not based on any.purpose to enter a wanton contest at sea. “We wish to be on truly friendiy terms with England and with English- men and this wish is general in Ger- many. Every cultivated German knows and venerates the ties which bind both nations. To no other modern country does German civilization owe so much as it does to-England, through Shake- speare, and England, from time of Luther and Holbein to-that of Handel and Goethe, has found in Germany a source of pure spiritual and artistic in- spiration. . ‘“We believe that in the continuance of this intimacy between both coum- tries depends to a great extent the fu- ture and the fullness of European civil- ization.

We accept withour re= serve and with warm gratification all the assurances of our German friends colleagues. We beg them to be- eve that we and thoss for whom we may speak are no whit less annoyed and misrepresented than they them- selves by the affected belligerency of some of our journals.

War between the | two powers would be a world calam- jity for which ne victory could com~ pensate either npation, and we em= phatically declare our belief that the levity with which certain journalists oceasionally discuss such a possibility 1s the measure of their profound igno= rance of the real sentiments of the na- tion.” R A GERMANY FOR “OPEN DOORX™ Stands for Equality of All Nations ta the Commerce of Moroceo. e e T O 80 BT York Publishing' Company.
