THE PEACE ILLUSION.
copyright by Associated Press.l
BERLIN, Feb. IL The peace illusion
with which Bismsrck's speech invested
the situation has passed away. 1t is
beginning to be realized that there
was really nothing pacific in the speech,
beyond leaving the Gar the alternative
OF peace or war, while pointing out the
rosd along which Russia can retreat IL
the Gar feels himself safe in retreating.
ST.. Petersburg advices published In
to-night's National Zaitung asserts that
the Car eulogizes within
his own circle Prince BismArck's
remarks but that the Russian official
opinion holds that the chancelior's words
AID diplomacy are irreconcilsble. The
Au5tro-GeTman lesgue OF peace continues
Ia be in the eyes OF the Cz.r's advisors en-
offensive alliance agains' Russis requir-
ing uusbsted preparations for inevitable
war and an alliance to counterpoise the
league.
IT the official press Of Berlin were per-
mitted to give frank utterance OF its o2in-
ion on the situation it would be found TO
concur in Russie's convictions. The
North German Gazette goes into the sub
ject at length. 1t says the conflict still
exists and is undiminished in intensity,
although Bisnarck's speech relieved
the minds Of the people from tue fear Of
an immediate conflict. This is only par
lisliy correct, for if the public are some
what treasured regarding the imminence
of War, officisl and diplomatic circles are
not. The Cars desire for peace
IS NOT DOUBTED,
bat though his professions are not sus-
pected, it's known that the influence
around him which he appears to be unable
to resist continue TO work in the direction
Of war. His present position recalls en-
incident that occurred on the eve Of the
Russo Turkish conflict in 1877. In the
srchiyee OF the foreign Office at Vienna
there exists dispAtca from General Lsn-
gean, then Austrian minister to
Russia, to Count Andraesy dated
ApEA 1oI 1910 si2iiu5 Lunk VI
the previous night the Cztr, IN the course
OF long conversation, directed him to
report to the Aust ian government that
be entertained no ides OF war, and that
he did not wish nor intend to attack Tur-
key. Within week after this 6eclsrs-
ton Russia opened the campaign,
crossed the Pruth aud invaded
Armenia. The present Czsr has even
less control OF sffsirs than his father hsd.
He is now guided largely by the advice
of M. Sinovieff, director OF the Asiatic
department Of the foreign ofice. Slnovief
is prominent Psn-slsvlst, IN old friend of
the late M. Kstkotf, and inheritor OF
Kstkoff's ideas. Subjected through per-
sonal influences to the war tendency, OF
q majority Of the council of the empire
and TO the anti German policy of the
msiority of the ministry. It Is !mpos-
sible for the Czsr to retrace his steps
which are leading TO collision with the
kllied powers, nor do the Berlin and
Vienna governments expect to do so
despite their OBSERVATIONS.
