the ignorance and the laziness of the moujik
To what extent the Germans are detested By
the Russian peasants is shown by the fact that
the MuscOvite word used to designate a Ger
man is "Nemetz," which also stands for the
contemptuous expression the dumb fool" 1t
was Peter the Great who first introduced col
onies of German settlers into his empire and
not knowing the language, and being unable to
make themselves understood they were set
down as dumb FOOLS" and have thus been des-
isnated ever since. If draw attention to this
1t is merely for the purpose of showing that
the people at large in Russia are equally averse
TO both German and French, and that an aII-
ance with Germany would leave nine-tenths of
the population as Indifferent the now virtual
ly defunct alliance with France.

namely. that the influence of Emperor William
Will have been exercised in the favor of peace,
and that all his efforts will be bent in that direc-
ton. This is fortunate. for the action Of the
Car in seeking of him an interview on the high
seas just at the present Juncture indicates more
eloquently than anything else the weight which
he attaches to the Kaiser's recommendations.

favor of Japan. No other government has
availed itself to such extent of the elasticity
of the laws of neutrality to lend a helping hand
to Russia, and it cannot have escaped attention
that whereas the French nation took it's Min
listers seriously to task for permitting the Rus

nial waters. public sentiment in Germany had
no fault to find with the Kaiser for giving to
Russia innumerablc proofs of his good will
Emperor William may now be fairly said to
but also of the reigning family and governing
classes of Russia. 1t must never be forgotten
that not only do all the married princes of the
blood at St Petersburg, save one, have German
princesses as wives, but that. moreover. the
dynasty itself is. strictly speaking German
rather than Russian. Its members to-day are
Romanoffs only the distaff side. In the male
line they form part of the German house of
Holstein-GOtthorp. Moreover, an immense
number of the principal dignitaries of the court
of the government, of the army and of the
arstocracy are of German origin, have Teuton
blood in their veins, some of them even having
retained the Lutheran faith of the Fatherland
All this weighs in the balance Then, too, it
must be borne in mind that nearly all the fac
tors ana managers of the estates of the great
nGoles, the men upon whose honesty and eff
cheney they depend for the revenues constitut-
ing their incomes, are Germans, or of German
descent; that the principal foreign trade of
Russia is with Germany, and that while the
Germans have manifested disposition to loan
