LONDON. April s.-The Kaiser has sup
planted the Car s the most prominent
figure in the European political situation.
The change no doubt is mutually salts
factory TO the two sovereigns. The role
which the German Emperor has adopted
l. still obscure, but it may be assured
that his present activity Is part Of plan
Of German Acknowledgement in the great
readiustment Of international relationships
which is certainly impending.
Emperor William has deliberately af-
fronted France in Morocco, and the French
press and public have maintained an adj
miIabe steadiness in the face Of a ch6l-
lpnge
England has still further emphasized
this week her support Of the French posi-
ton, and Foreign Minister Delcasses dec
laraton that the plans Of the French would
not he altered 10y Germany's action has
forced upon tho Kaiser the necessity n
some definite action or the abandonment
ot-his empty protest.
II is certain, moreover. that En- peror
William is now taking an active advisory
interest IN the Russo-Japanese crisis. II Is
81 course denied that the visit Of Prince
Henry 20 the Gar has any political purpc + ;
everybody believes just the contrary, and
Russian opinion is much perplexed over
the Raiser's attitude.
One OF the Kaiser's moves toward con-
troll Of the general political situation which
failed to receive public support the marked
political color OF his toast TO King Victor
Emsmnuel at Naples is contrasted with the
Shectionate sobriety Of the Kings response.
The Italian press. except the Catholic organs,
shows no enthusiasm over the Kaiser's
sncomiums Of the Triple Alliance.
Public opinion in Italy the Rome oorre-
spOndent Of The Sun says, thinks more Of
their good relations with France and the
traditional friendship Of Great Britain than
Of the necessity for increasing armaments,
the Morocco question and other interests
dear 10 the heart Of the Kaiser. In fact
italy no longer takes great concern in the
affairs Of the Triple Alliance.
The comments Of the newspapers are all
pacific, in marked contrast TO the aggres-
slve or ambitious tone Of Emperor WI
liam = utterances. The Giorndle dIiGhd,
one Of the leading newspapers Of Rome
does not hesitate TO declare in favor OF
readjustment Of international alliances.
The Paris Tempe. in a clearly inspired
article to-day, makes firm and conciliatory
declaration Of the French attitude in regard
to the Kaisers demonstration. Germany's
action IN Morocco. II says, il due either
70 misunderstanding or manpuNre
" y IL the former the French Government
freely declares its readiness to explain
matters; II the latter France will prove
her moderation by offering her resolutions
hat her intentions are absolutely I'm
changed. In either case. says the Temps,
now behoovts those who have modified
Their opinions OF designs to furnish eT-
plantations TO those who have changed
one NJ the other.
report finds credence to-day that King
tdTard IN the course Of his Mediterranean
cruise will pay a brief visit TO TaDgier.
