FOR THE PEACE OF EUROPE
BELIEVED THAT CzAR'S TOUR WAS
TO GUARANTEE 1T.
Indications Are that Both Russia and
Germany Have Agreed Upon a
Ten Years Truce.

London, Septmebcr 22.-The cars visit
to France concluded last night It's OBJ
ject and the result of his visit as well ms
those of his meeting with Emperor VIII.
lam Immediately before, are naturally
matter of universal speculation in Europe.
There was one object, however, which It is
generally conceded the car has closest
TO his heart namely, to secure the peace
of Europe. and, apart from something un.
foresecn, there Is every reason TO conclude
that he has done this. The kaiser earnestly
and emphatcally Informed the people at
DantZig that as a result of conversations
with his ilustrious guest, he had assured
the peace Of Europe for many years. IN
their speeches today President Loubet and
the car both dwelt on the fact that the
Franco-Russian alliance made for peace
There is one report, which, II true is Of
the highest Importance. The Spectator to-
day refers to this IN the following words:
THE car, who has been annoyed at the
failure OF the peace conference at The
Hague, has, it is rumored, fallen back
upon the more practical proposalyof a ten
yenTs' truce, during which, on the faith Of
sovereigns, neither Russia nor Germany
will voluntarily engage in war. If such
an agreement has been made, and evidence
points that way, peace at all events for
that period. has been secured for France
can not fight alone and the English in
terest is always for peace"
