M. Isvolsky denies the Kaiser's inainuation that he, is 1905, Russian Minister at Copenhagen, had given him to nöderstand that Denmark #cold 3ent to a German ccccpatienf that Scantry in the event of an Anglo. German war. M. Iarulsky, in deed, conf'ms ad the details of the aforst-treaty of Bjerke, directed against Egland, and raye that in a conversation he had with William II. the latter declared that France meat ba brought to accept a Ross:-Germaa alliance. He was not taken-ioto the two Emperors' opufidence at the time, but was informed of everything a year later, when be took over the Ministery of Foreign Affairs from Count Lamsdorf.
His eccount of his conversstion with William II. at Copenhagen in Joly 1875 is interesting, sa giving a glimpse of the working of the Keizer's mind.
The German Emperor tried to convince him that the true guar. antes of peace was to be found in an alliance of Germany, Russia, and Franos, in order to shut out the possibility of British hoge-
mony.
Asked for bie opinion, M, Lavoleky replied, "The realisation of the project seems to me quite impcesible."
The Kaiser, impatiently: And wby?
Involaky: Sire, Because France would deter consent to enter each an all arce.
The Kaiser: You thinker! But why should she not socapt?"
Lavalaky: Because between France and Germay there is s question that remaine nasettled.

The Tear allowed Lamsdof! to fake measures, to repair the harm done, and when M Nelidof, Rossian Ambasador

At Swinemaode, in 1907, Nicholas II. spoke to Tavoleky of the treaty, giving him to understand that it was a painful souvenir, and that he was determined to consider it invalid.
