An Interview with Gambeita -
France Will not Submit TO PruS'
xia's Terms, Even IL Paris Falls
Prussia and Russia to Control the
World IT France Falls.
Special to the World.
BORDEAUX, January 27.-Your CORES
pondent has had personal interview
with Gambetta. l asked whether the
war would be continued if Paris fell.
He replied with great earnestness. that
the fall of Paris would have no effect
whatever in stopping the war, if the
Prussian conditions Of peace were still
maintained. He said: "But cannot

that in ten years he will see Russia
at Constantinople. Prussia in Hol-

whole contral part of the world deliv-
