sian Chancellors. The personal and polit-
ical intimacy between Prince Bismarck
and Prince Gortschkoff is one of the
most striking, not to say portentious,
facts in European politics. To-day it is
common to speak of the friendship OF
the two Emperors as the basis of . har.
monte policy between the empires, and
since this friendship falls in with the
purposes of the two Chancellors, it is oil
course an important fact, but the sover.
eigns are the minor powers. After all
they are the pawns of the game. A sig.
nificant fact is that the fortunes OF Eu.
rope are now at the mercy Of two pene.
trating and ambitions politicians. In

could have planned this Brussels Con.
gress without the consent of his German
colleague.
