Boccorda yesterday. one of the Italian dele
gates to the labor conference. that the paths OF
Italy and Germany would be identical in the
future, as they had been in the past says that
the observation may confidently be applied to
the German foreign policy generally. The
appointments OF Gen. Won Caprivi to succeed
Prince Bismarck the paper says. has nothing
OF threatening character. 1t calls attention
to the fact that the duke OF Wellington was at
one time prime minister OF Great Britain and
declares that German generals appreciate the
blessings Of peace no less than other Germans
in responsible positions
The North German GuSete gives prominence
to a report that Gen. Won Caprivi not only sue
ceeds to the chancellorship but to the presi-
dency of the ministry.
Prince Bismarck has made arrangements to
vacate the palace of the chancellor at an early
date
PARIS, March 20.-There is a generally
anxious feeling here. rumor prevails that
the German ambassador will resign The rumor
has depressing effect on the bourse.

DOES IT MEAN WAR?
An Inside View OF the Situation I'm
Germany.

DETROIT, March 2O.-Ths Journal has the
following special:
LONDON, March 7O-Is the peace Of Europe
10 be involved by the resignation OF Bismarck?
This ia now an absorbing question. Those
versed in European affairs have foreseeu
40 inevitable this step. but it's effect
is different matter. The Iron
Chancellor held the will OF the
grandfather, Emperor William. in the
hollow of his hand. With him Bsmarck's .
word was Law. Whether under the hostile in
fuence of his empress and her party
the invalid Emperor Frederick would
have changed this cannot be conjec-
tured. But il Was the gossip Of
Europe that the present young emperor. before
bis accession, had as his intimates a CLIQUE
headed by Count Won Waldersee, known to be
inimical to Bismarck ana which was regarded as
warlike party. In this feeling all of Europe
nervously shares. To still this feeling it re-
quired repested pacific utterances on the part
OF the young emperor and the apparent con-
tnusnce of Bismarck in his position But a
most significant thing was the elevation of
Count Won Waldersee to . high position in the
army and one close to the emperor.
The continued pacific tone Of the new ruler
finally calmed Europe, at least to the belief that
war was not Immediately inevitable, but at the
same time both Germany and France went on
with the perfection of their armament
and the increase of their armies. and
while talking peace and quietness the young
emperor showed his thorough warlike tend
encies by his intense interest in his immense
armies and personal participation in their
maneuvers. But from time to time
there have several things leaked
ont which indicate that there
would no doubt have been rupture long be-
fore between Emperor William and Bismarck
but for two deterrent conditions. First. the
chancellor regarded himself and was regarded
as creator of the empire; second, the burden
Of the debt of gratitude Of the HohenzolIern
family to Bismarck rested heavy on the young
emperor and he could not afford an issue with
the chancellor too soon, as it might place him
in an unpleasant position before his subjects
William wants 70 be second Frederick.
That there will be a war between France anu
Germany there can be no doubt, and it will be
short and unsanguinary.
