TIIR STANDARD SAYS;
"The extreme tension in the relations
between England and Russia con-
tinurs, but rs yet there has been no
absolute diplomatic rupture. That is
the least disquicting way in which
both can be told. The deadlock is
not whit less serious because the
day has passed without bringing the
crisis. II is no longer n question of
disputed frontier, for we believe he
gotiations on that subject are for the
moment set aside. Satisfaction for
the Penidch incident monopolizcs

and ambassadors. The more II is
discussed the more hopelessly reu ote
appears the project of an agreement
In demanding satisfaction, England is
simply telling the mischievous fire
brands who shelter themselves under
authority of the car, that if they per-
sst in their old game they will no
longer play il with IMMUNITY"
