In recent conversation with Count
Schouvaloff, the Russian ambassador to
Germany, regarding the situation in Eu-
rope, he said that no power now threatens
Russia. Only Russian attack upon Aus
tra would force Germany 10 take the field.
Russia. he said, must pursue an indepen-
dent and passive policy. Germany's fu-
ture was secured by her excellent military
organization which would not be altered
by any change of rulers.
