I should like to get it in such a form that I can present it fairly and honestly to the public of Germany." "That sounds reasonable enough," Norgate admitted.

"There are several pamphlets--" "I do not want pamphlets," Selingman interrupted.

"I want an actual report from Ulster and Dublin of the state of feeling in the country, and, if possible, interviews with prominent people.

"Another subject," Selingman continued, "upon which there is wide divergence of opinions in Germany, and a great deal of misrepresentation, is the attitude of certain of your Cabinet Ministers towards the French _entente_: how far they would support it, at what they would stop short." "Isn't that rather a large order ?" Norgate ventured.

"I don't number many Cabinet Ministers among my personal friends." Selingman puffed away at his cigar for a moment.
