BERLIN, Feb. 2L A highly optimis tic account of the recent visit of Vis count Haldana, British Secretary for War, to Berlin, and of the Anglo-German negotiations. Is given today by the Lokal Anxetger In an article which there la every reason to believe Is au thoritative. The result of the "conversations" be tween Viscount Haldane and the Ger man Minister Is declared to have been more favorable than either side dared hope and the world has for a long time bad no such reason for looking forward to a peaceful future. The credit of putting an end to the diplomatic tensions Is ascribed per sonally to King George. He found the subject ripe for discussion on his re turn to England from India and Vis count Haldane started for Berlin after receiving an Intimation that his visit would be acceptable. The aim of the present negotiations appears to be the drafting of a sort of protocol giving the views of both na tions on great questions of world poll tics which will serve as a guide In their future relations. Neither the African, the colonial nor the disarmament question figures prominently In the negotiations, which are still going on. Kadderly Convention Candidate. SALEM. Or., Feb. 21. (Special.) A. A.
