ST. Petersburg, Sept. THE Novoe
vrenya makes the important statement
today that the cars tour shows that
Berlin and Vienna, as well as Paris and
st. Petersburg, are conscious OF the
necessity of common action by the pow
ers TO defeat the political designs OF
Great Britain, which, it is added, are
clearly displayed in recent events in
Turkey.
The item ends with an intimation
that the British press has attached con-
siderable hope for the success OF Great
Britain's policy in the fact that oeatn
has removed Prince Looanof-RostoV-
sky, the Russian minister for forelsn
affairs, who is understood TO have oeen
a strong opponent of England.
