LONDON, Sept. 12.-The Vienna cor
respondent of the Times commenting on
the complaints on the part of CORE
spondents of their inability to give in
formation regarding the meeting of the
Car and Kaiser, says:
THE confidential official account of
the meeting will not reveal much more
than these correspondents. Well in
formed people believe that there will
be no far-reaching political conse-
quences. 1t is not supposed that
Europe is on the eve of new under
standings or arrangements affecting
existing ones. There is already suffi-
Gent guarantee that there will be no
Russo German war.
There are obvious reasons why the
Car should not extend his visit to Aus
tria but it is not apparent why his for
eign Minister should not have done so.
Some thorny questions might have been
disposed of satisfactorily in a few
hours conversation between the heads
of the Russian and Austrian Foreign
departments.
Public opinion in Austria Hungary
looks upon the Austro- Russian pact as
collapsed. It's fate is. scarcely en-
couraging to those who wish for an
Anglo-Russian understanding
The Berlin correspondent of the Times
says:
''The Agrarians who We're formerly
emphatic regarding the necessity of
good relations with Russia are now
afraid that the German Government is
going too far for their interests in it's
advances to Russia A significant ar
ticle in one of their organs demands
that it be made clear that the friend
ship of Germany is as valuable to Rus
STA as Russia's friendship is to Ger
many.
THE majority of the journals point
out that Germany must remain friends
with both England and Russia and
commit herself to neither
The Brussels correspondent of the
Times says that. though Belgium has
no direct interest in the Cars visit to
France, her role of an attentive spec
tator is abundantly Illustrated by the
newspapers. Regarding the Danzig
meeting it is not thought that impor-
tant political results will ensue from
it. The interests of Germany and Rus
STA are believed to be too divergent to
permit of more than an exchange of
courtesies.
The Independence Beige says: 'If
the Car can convince Emperor William
of the false position in which many
European states will be placed by the
adoption of Count Buelows tariff pro-
posals this will indeed be a great point
gained
The Etoile Beige thinks there is a
growing estrangement between Ger
many and Russia.
