The manner of future emperor showed that ha was open' to Information from every point of the compass." And the kaiser has succeeded recently In arousing the attention of "all the world that loves a lover." He declared that matchmaking plans of state were not for his only daughter, the Princess Victoria Louise.

"His whole policy Is based on this, to avoid war of revenge without yielding an Inch on the Alsace-Lorraine question. "Whether he really understands our mentality and the state of French feeling and whether his plan has any chance of success Is another matter." adds the Frenchman. "But we must take care, on the one hand, not to think of him as a man desirous of war with France, and, on the other hand, we must be uqually careful not to get the Ultu that he stands ready to make those concessions which we consider absolutely necessary preliminaries to reconi-lllation.
