For the HONGKONG & SHANGHAI THE German Chancellor by his excited tirade against. Great Britain must have done much to rehabilitata himself in the good opinion of the German people. We were told a day or two ago that the re-opening of the Reichstag was being looked forward to with great interestin Germany because it was expected that the Imperial Chancellor would be badly "strated" for the "for- bearance" he is alleged to have shown towards England, and for thwarting. so it was anid, the wish of the "All Highest" that a vigorous warfare by Zeppeline should be carried on against England. But the Chan- cellor's speech shows that he has lost all the love he ever had for England.
