He Talks About the Danger to France and
the Needs of Germany.
PARIS, May 19.-In the interview recently
had with him by Des Sioux, the French
journalist Prince Bismarck said that the
danger ahead lay in the sentimental anger
of the French over the loss of Alsace-Lor-
raine. Supposing that France and Russia
crushed Germany. he said. who would be
the gamer? Russia would certainly then
devour France. Germany was the bulwark
of western Europe against Russian in
vasion.
Talking with correspondent of the
Novoe Vremyae of st. Petersburg, the ex-
Chancellor declared that Austria was not
80 near decay as people imagined. Ger
many needs Austria for the same reason
that Russia needs France War between
Germany and Russia would be the greatest
mistake but was, for many reasons, al
most impossible. Prince Gertscha-
koff had been jealous of him, but he
had always been friend of Russia.
1t was true, he wanted Germans to invest
in German instead of Russian securities;
but that desire arose from patriotic reasons
alone, and from no other motive. The Ia
Dor conference was blow in the air. The
discomfort of capitalists was much more
dangerous than the discomfort of working
men.
