About two months ago we we're on the eve Of
q European war. Some Of the advisers Of the
car insisted very much on the desirability Of
Russia declaring war against Germany, as the
defective ornaments Of the German troops
would give RUSSIA q great advantage over her
opponent Ii was further pointed out to the
Emperor Alexander that France was i've
months ahead Of Russia IN the matter
Of armaments. In order 10 ascertain
the true facts OF the case the car
sent his brother, the Grand Duke Sergius,
TO Rome, Paris and London. By some indis-
erection the object OF his imperial bighness'
visit became known to the Spanish AMBASSADOR
ct ST. Petersburg, who telegraphed ID to Madrid.
from which city the news, In some unexplained
manner, found its way 10 Berlin II b added
that the Emperor Of Germany at one moment
thought . war unavoidable The result of the
grand dukes travels established the fact that
In the various countries visited by him there
was not that inclination for war which the
