CRAFTY GERMAN
DIPLOMAT SHAPES
new ALLIANCES
Forecasts Fairly Combination
With France and Russia.
MIGHTY GAME HAS BEGUN
ON OLD WORLD CHESS BOARD

Paris, Oct. 4.-Chancellories here
and throughout Europe are taking the
keenest interest in the possible and
even probable formation of a new Eu-
ropean alliance consequent upon the
termination of the eastern war and
the conclusion of closer Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance. This has advanced
beyond discussion in the newspapers
and has already reached the stage OF
discreet diplomatic soundings
The various proposed realgnmentS
of European powers are divided into
three main movements first, the Brit
ish inclination toward an accord with
Russia; second, German Russian
movement for an alliance offsetting
the Anglo-Japanese alliance; and
third, Russo German overtures to in
duce France to join the latter group
ing.
Great Britain's desire for an APP
proachment with Russia has brought
about the distinct diplomatic sugges-
tion that Great Britain Is ready to
give fuller recognition to Russia S
privileged position in southern Turkey
notably at Constantinople and along
the Bosphorus Russia's ambitions in
that direction have heretofore encoun-
tered strong opposition in England
The view In French official quarters is
distinctly favorable to an Anglo Rus
sian reapproachment II was one Of
the projects of NJ Delcasse when
foreign minister, TO have King Ed
ward visit Emperor Nicholas as Il
means for furthering the reconcilia-
ton of Russia and Great Britain
Since the retirement of NJ. Delcasse
this project has been in allegiance, but
the officials continue favorable to an
Anglo Russian entente
Concerning the proposed German
Russian agreement strong elcnents In
both countries favor an accord as a
counterpoise to the Anglo-J Japanese al
lance. The Temps tonight prints an
interview riiN I'rhtrc Won
BueloV. the German imperial cham
eellor at Baden Baden, openly advo-
eating a Russian reapproach-
ment. The prince says
1T is natural and traditional that
we should have the best relations with
Russia. Why should France take um-
bragg? We do not take umbrage, be-
cause of the Franco Russian alliance
A system of pacific alliances would
assure the equilibrium Of Europe. The
reapproachment has
not an anti-German character nor
should Russo-German reapproach-
ment have an anu-French character"
In connection with French partlci-
patton in Russo-German reap
1t can be definitely stated
that France. before considering a new
alignment of the powers, Intends to
await the final determination of the
with regard to Morocco
in which country Germany first inter-
rupted the French program.
AfterwRrd France might consider
German overtures, but until Morocco's
future is assured French bonds OF
will continue with Russia
and Great Britain.
