Considerable Importance is attached
to conference between the enperors
Of Germany and Russia, soon to take
place on sbipboard in the Baltic Sea,
TO be followed later by a meeting be-
tween the German Emperor and the
president Of France. Mutual distrust
growing out Of the Turkish upheayal
and the Incidents which preceded it
had started rumors of ruptures and
even of probable wars, but these con.
terences Indicate that diplomacy has
evidently settled the differences if any
existed.
The work of the diplomat Is con.
cealed from the public, however, and
in spite Of assurances that all had
been arranged satisfactory the people
are slow TO give them cre1ence. That
