PARIS, July s.-Prime Minister Rouvier
received Prince Won Radolin, the German
Ambassador, at o'clock this evening.
Tho conference lasted until 7:so O'Clock.
The Foreign Office issued a note that they
had agreed definitely upon the wording
OF the Communications to be exchanged.
These will probably be laid before the Cham
Der Of Deputies on Monday.
LONDON, July s,-The correspondent OF
THE Sum learns ON official authority In
Paris that yesterday evenings announce
ment OF a full settlement OF the pending
issue between France and Germany In re-
gard to Morocco was premature, as Ger
many has shown disinolination to put In
writing her acceptance Of the Franco
English agreement OF April, 1904, as
preliminary condition to an International
conference.
Prime Minister Rouvler naturally insists
that the terms Of the understanding shall
be explicitly recorded In order to avoid
future dispute. Moreover, France will
consent to q conference only on these
conditions.
1t may easily be understood that Ger
many should be unwilling to proclaim her
withdrawal OF this essential point, which
really reduces the proposed conference to
little more than farce, but there Is reason
to believe that she will consent to do 30
1t has become evident from Chancellor
Won Buelow's action In regard to the visit
Of NJ. Jaur 8 that the kaisers bold plans
have been seriously interfered with by the
attitude OF the Social Democrats. 1t is
only fair under the circumstances to credit
the Socialist movement in Europe with
strong influence on the side Of peace In the
pending crisis.
The Kaiser denounced the German Social
lists years ago as enemies OF their country,
and ever since he has endeavored to destroy
instead Of to direct the Socialist movement.
1t has fiourished under his opposition until
now 1t has become heavy drag upon the
wheel of the war lords chariot. 1t is now
tho avowed object Of German socialism to
furnish the French Republic what it has
sought in vain from the rulers Of Russia
protection from the provocation and from
the overweening ambitions Of the ,mper-
ialistio German policy
Prince Won Buelows action in regard to
NJ. JaurAs's visit is such complete reoogni-
ton Of the great powers Of socialism that
the leaders Of the movement in Germany
and France really rejoice in his interfer-
ence
Europe Is beginning to study the ultimate
effect OF the great crisis which the German
Emperor conjured up In the past month
and which for several days made France
at least believe that war was at her doors.
Both French and English opinion Is we'll
represented in an important article in to-
days Spectator, which begins: "We doubt
the wisdom Of a policy Of bluff"
The writer goes on to recount some OF
the methods Of Emperor Williams effective
campaign, which it aokno Wedges has
partially succeeded. But when it comes
to reckon the cost the Spectator goes even
further than the views expressed in these
dispatches, saying:
sThe Anglo French entente has become
in all but form an Anglo-French alliance.
The people Of both co untries have been
convinced that, until Russia revives. En-
peror William is master OF the continent,
and if they are to avoid political vassalsgs
they must adhere strictly to each other,
and then they will be safe. Russia Is ir-
ritated, but it may not matter at present.
But Russia is not going to die, and the next
body OF men who will govern her will
understand quite we'll that Germany, when
left alone, has an aggressive instinct, and
that the safety OF France Is also the safety
of Russia. Even Austria is not pleased.
The House of Hapsburg, with its peculiar
medley of subjects, has most to fear from
total upset of the balance Of power.
Lastly, there is another danger in the
policy Of bufIing. 1t may be regarded
not only as a menace. but as an afront.
Suppose that some day Berlin treats
Washington as it has just treated Paris:
protests, for example, with threat behind
its representations. that the Monroe Doc
trine ought to be limited, say, to America
north of the Panama Canal. That is at
least possible. No one can read Minister
berg's book on the Americans without
perceiving the strength OF the German
wish that South America should be thrown
open to the European world. Suppose
such a request were made while England
was preoccupied, say, by an Indian war
in form that the Americans thought q
little too pressing and presumptuous.
"If we understand the American feeling
at all there would DE war in a week and war,
which if Germany proves victorious at
first, might last for years until the republic
could bring her awful reserves Of strength
fully to bear upon the contest.
"That is an improbable contingency but
by no means an impossible one. Considering
the prize that Brazil would be to Germany. |
the many arguments about the general !
good Of mankind that might he produced !
in favor Of such an adventure and the |:
enormous obstacles which would DELAY |
America in effective defense of the Monroe |
Doctrine by land, Roosevelt is right in his
repeated demand for strong navy.
THE habit OF bluffing, especially when
bluffing is successful, tends to develop pride,
and in politics az well as society, pride, as
we see to-day in the position of Russia, goes
