If the friends of the Golos consider this support
unimportant, then their own attitude is respon
siblc. Ii Germany is compelled to look else
where for the support which she had found in
her relations with Russia, Germany's policy will
remain peaceful one and she will seek only

by continuing in the path upon which they have

of reconciliation between Berlin aud st.

discussed at Livadia. Probably Prince Loban-
off win become chancellor. large increase of
the Russian army was also discussed ut Livadia.

tunn. The idea of such interview originated ut
