KAISER AND GAR
 TALK FOR PEACE
Meeting of German and Rus
 sian Rulers is Important
WAR TALK NOT PERMITTED
Both William and Nicholas Express the Most Earnest Desire for a Con tluaton of the Present
 Period of World Peace.

Swinemund, August 5-Emperor William of Germany and Nicholas of Russia spent the entire day together at sea. A review of the German fleet was witnessed in tho morning from the German battleship Deutschland and this afternoon there was a reception on board the Russian im- perial yacht Standart.
 A semi-official communication regarding the meeting of the two sovereigns de- clares that their conferences have served further to strengthen the traditional friendship relations between them, and that the meeting has given proof of the good understanding today between the leading statesmen of the two countries.
 Every question of international charae- ter actually pending was the subject of thorough discussion, with the result that the views held thereon have been found to be in absolute accord. It was agreed that the recent occurrences in Morocco are not likely to create any international misunderstanding, because of the clear and friendly explanation of the situation made by M. Pichon, French foreign min- ister, to Prince yon Radolin, the Ger man ambassador to France, and because of the determination of all signatories to carry out the terms of the Algeciras con- vention.
 It is declared from the same source that neither the alliance of Russia and Germany, nor the relations of either power with other powers have been ar fected as a result of. the meeting in the course of which both rulers expressed the most earnest desire that the present pe- riod of peace in the world continue, add Ing the hope that the Swinemund meet ing would assist in the maintenance of universal confidence and peace.
