WAR CLOUDS LESSEN
Meeting Between King and
Gar Makes for Peace.
GERMAN PRESS IS MOLLIFIED
BETTER Feeling Indicated Through
out kaiser's Empire Since RevaI
Conference, with Corresponding
Decrease in AInrmist Utterances.
King Edward Pleased with visit.

London. June 13-There Is little more AT
present TO be said about the meeting be-
tween the King and Car at Reval. It
has been a thorough success from the
viewpoint Of Russia. France and Eng
land. while even in Germany there is
marked decrease in the alarmist op!n-
ions. such as were expressed prior TO
the meeting.
The official and semi-oficiaI German
press expresses satisfaction. though there
are not wanting journals, such as the
hamburger Nachrichten, to urge Ger
many TO every effort to increase her
naval and military strength. so as to
make "adversaries" pause before seeking
a quarrel But. with reference 10 the
prospects of European peace, Il is be-
lieved generally that owing TO recent al
liances and understandings. war between
two single powers is practically impos-
sible. while the alternative is so terrible
that the governments will be forced 10
strive more than ever 20 maintain peace.
On the other hand. the idea OF restric-
ton OF armaments is not considered in
the slightest degree more hopeful now
than 1t was at Tie Hague last summer.
Macedonian Reforms Favored.
AS regards the immediate results Of the
meeting az Reval, Macedonian reform
lines, as already mentioned in these dis
patches. taken for granted so far as may
be compatible with the maintenance Of
the Integrity OF the Ottoman empire. are
believed 10 be favorably considered in
Berlin. The Persian and Afghan ques-
tions viii also probably show new de-
velopments before long. in particular the
postponement IL not abandonment Of Rus
sia's surveyings for and construction OF
railways in Central Asia, which has long
been contemplated.
King Edward IS undoubtedly satisfied
with the result Of his visit The only
drawback 70 his satisfaction was the at
titude Of the labor members Of the House
Of Commons

eight years a fugitive in this city. was
overjoyed to-day when he learned Of the

grew serious and tears gllstened in his
eyes.
The pardon Of Caleb Powers and James
Howard is a most righteous act" he said.
Never before in the history OF this coun-
try have two men suffered so much so

Friends who have interested themselves
In ex-GoY Taylor's case since Wilson

him no hope Of a pardon unless he vol

ties, but believe that his return 10 that
State for trial would be followed in a
