The car Of all the Russias has an
excellent opportunity for the display OF
that diplomacy for which his govern
ment Is 80 famed In all the courts Of
Europe. Russia has been the historic
friend Of the United States, not because
OF any similarity In the pursuits and
ambitions OF the two nations. but for
the obvioIs reason that Russia wants
the friendship. or. at least. the neutral
ity Of this government when the final
struggle between the Russian Bear and
British lion takes place for the ultf-
mate possession of India and a control
ling voice in the affairs OF Egypt. And
now that England is playing Russia's
former game by freely expressing her
sympathy for the United States In the
present war. and tacitly Offering the
aid OF her navy in the event of France
or Austria becoming too meddlesome.
the Russian diplomats are becoming
uneasy and showing considerable nerv-
BUSINESS over the fear of losing their
prestige with the people OF this nation
and Of finding the United States on
the side of England when the Russian
troops come over the Afghan border
with the intention of capturing India.
But if the imperial ruler OF the Russian
empire, whose real interests continue to
lie in fa Of ~
this nation. will hold to his historic
policy and not allow any sudden i'm
pulse Of jealousy to overthrow his
equilibrium. he can hold the United
States under its sense of obligation to
him by simply siding in with England
in her display of friendliness in the
present struggle, SO that when the crisis
In Eastern affairs arises. Russia could
Justly expect neutrality on our part as
concerns her interests. on the ground
OF having been as ready to offer aid or
extend sympathy as England herself.
Nor could Russia lose her present hold
on any other nation by such a stand,
for the tie between herself and Ger
many is always silken thread. easily
broken. while volatile France does not
dare show any disfavor towards Rus
STA, however unpaIatable her behavior
may appear. The opportunity TO outwit
England with the application OF her
own methods is so well defined and ap-
parent that the clear-headed Russian
diplomacy viii hardly pass it by. de-
spite the manifestations of uneasiness
which creep into the dispatches eman-
ating from professedly Russian sources
