FranCO-RuSSian
Alliance Was
DefemSiUe Only

Paris. Thursday, Sept. 19-Docu-
ments establishing the pacific and
purely defensive nature of the alli-
ance between France and Russia are
published in the Yellow Book, dis
tributed in the Chamber of Deputies
today. The early negotiations show
ed that both Emperor Alexander of
Russia and General Boisdeffre, the
French representative insisted on
the pacific character Of the conVen-
ton.
Emperor Alexander hesitated
somewhat at the outset, fearing that
partisans, out of revenge for the
war of 1870 might precipitate a new
conflict. The first conversations be-
coming known in Berlin, the German
emperor became concerned. He is
reported in one document as "re-
GREETING not having attacked France
in 1887" M. Monticello, the French
ambassador to Russia finally an
nounced the agreement to dispatch to
NJ. Ribot, foreign miniter on March
6, 1892, saying the principle of re-
ciprocal assistance and simultaneous
mobilization is accepted. 1t was
stipulated that France and Russia
would mobilize their forces only if
the triple alliance modified first.
The convention was finally concluded
on December IS, 1893 and was pre-
ceded by the famous reception to
the Russian Marines in Paris.

Amsterdam, Sept 20.-Baron Bu-
rian, the Austro Hungarian foreign
minister, in announcing to the Ger
man deputies that the Austrian and
Hungarian delegations would assem-
BILE in the first fortnight of October,
is quoted in dispatch from Vienna
as saying that his note to the bel
ligerents had been considered for
weeks and was in nowise influenced
by recent events on the battle front.
The foreign minister said he had
taken the step alone, "of course not
without previously acquainting our
allies of it, and being certain of their
approval in principle" because on
the one hand the proposal had to
avoid the appearance of a peace Of
fer by the Central powers, and on
the other because the proposal was
to be addressed to all the belliger-
ents.
Baron Burian said success would,
perhaps, not Immediately ensue, but
the loyal intentions which were be-
hind the proposals would undoubted-
ly strengthen the conviction that no
possible success obtainable from a
continuation of the war would be
able to weigh against the heavy sac
rifices which the struggle would con-
tinue to impose on the nations.
