The English and French news
papers have recently said that the
resolution of the powers of the tri pie
entente not to make peace without
consulting one another, had made a
painful impression in Germany We

declaration an answer to the tend

filled the sceptics With hope. There
are in France, people however, who
have not been the guests of the
czar who unlike the Paris papers DO
not gain by supporting the alliance,
whose personal fate does not depend
upon that of Russia. and whose brain
