PARIS. Aug. Especial Cablegram to
The BoeD-Not since the meeting on the
Field OF the Cloth Of Gold has there been
coming together OF two sovereigns which
has attracted as MUCH attention the
mysterious meeting IN the North sea Of
Emperor William and the car.
This is the way the leading Paris news
papers are talking Of the situation Every
whore It is recognized that the meeting is
Of tremendous import in world politics. It
is regarded as indicating that there is an
understanding between Germany and Rus
sin which viii az least demonstrate TO the
world that the yellow peril will be held In
check. The consensus Of the opinions OF
the greatest writer's upon European politics
Is TO the effect that the kaiser has prac-
tcaly assured tho czar that the Japanese
shall not be allowed TO exact terms which
. mot be met. And In a case OF last re-
sort German bavone's may be relied upon
to suppress any rebellion within the
domnior. Of the czar IN other words. II
It becor.rs absolutely necessary the kaiser
will protect the czar against outside in
vasion and against the worst phases Of in
= ternnl rebellion. This is believed to indi-
cate that the German emperor has become
practically protector or one writer
has it, a "big brother Of the czar."
Drive France to Britain.
This Is now believed to be the secret of
the entente cordiae between France and
Great Britain. The Brest festivities demon
strated a feeling Of friendship between the
two nations which might have been re-
garded as absolutely impossible few years
ago. The scene at Brest is one that will
llnger long in the memories Of the world
The incidents which occurred there were
SNnot so noteworthy perhaps II taken by
themselves, II standing alone But taken
as a part OF new alignment among the
nations OF the earth. II is interesting. II not
Significant. For instance. II should he re-
membered that the entente cordale between
France and Great Britain means the estab-
lshment of cordial citations between
France and Japan, since Japan is regarded
as Brtains ally.
The question which is today agitatina
all Europe is whether the czar Of all the
Russias has come TO the conclusion that
Germany, nation to n large extent re-
sponsive to the will Of the kaiser, is bet
ter able to protect him on his throne thar
a nation like France, where public senti
ment must be consulted. This being tn,
case, does It mean that the old-time ALI
ance between France and Russia is to b,
abandoned. new alliance between Rus
sia and Germany taking its place?
II this is the case, the growing friend
ship between France and England on tn
one side and between Germany and Rus
sia on the other can be understood
