NEW GROUPING OF POWERSJ COI War in Far East Will Have This Effect. Des chanel Says. GERMANY WILL SUPPORT RUSSIA Tn New Diplomatic Alliances Fol ? lowing Declaration of Peace France Will Probably Join England or Germany. Attitude of United States. By M. Paul Deschanel. .President of the French Parliamentary Committee of Foreign and Colon al Af? fairs; President ci the Clumber of Dep? uties. ? lm-iKO. (Written for Potcntla. Copyright In Great Britain and the United State.?, 1905.) PARIS, July 8,-Germany will support Hussla, and that for three reasons. The first Is that she has an Interest in maintaining Russia In the Far East In order to have all the voice In the Near East; the second Is "that she sees a means of causing a breach between us and England in 'forcing her to choose between Anglo-Japanese alliance and the "Entente Cordiale:" the third Is that thus she will drlvo Fiance into collabor? ating with her to help our allies. Ever s.nce the conclusion of the Franco Xtusslan alliance Germany has pursued alternately two different policies; while trying to draw closer to England, and to divorce Paris and Dondon, she 'has *et herself to unltp against England the three Continental Powers. The former of those two policies having miscarried (at the end of 1800 In China and at the beginning of 1901, and In the Venezuelan affair), .she devoted herself to the second (the Inauguration of the Kiel Canai, the. treaty of Shimonoeekl, the Chlnesp ex? pedition under the leadership of Field Marshal Wuldersee). In Intervening in the same sense, that we do. she will try to restore the triple entente in 1S95. It Is to Germany's Interest that R?e? nla should be kept occupied In Asia. Ttussla In the Far Ea?t means Ger? many mistress in the Near East and arbiter of Europe. Germany's Power Increased. The military disorganization of Russia, 'distinctly Increases the military power of Germany. If Russia and England re? main estranged the Baltic is at the mercy of the German ?fleet. In the Chinese sea;? the Japanese merchant marine will prove a ruinous competitor? to the German coasting trade, ?utd Ger? many, which at Kiao Chad Is onlj twelve hours at sea from the Japanes?? ar?onal fc'aseboo, must long to keep Russia as a buffer. For all these reasons then, Germany, desiring at once her friendship and her exile, must support Russia. The Foreign Office. In the Japanese alliance, wished to keep the Russians In check, but far from driving them to war, tiled to h'jld them hack, to the point even of arous? ing the complaints of the Japanese press, ?which saw in the aillante rather an ob? stacle than in action against Russ a.% After the opening of hostilities a Van? couver newspaper expresses Its fears: "If Japan," it said, "Is vlctoriou?, will that be a go"d thing for British Colum? bia, which has already so many subjects of the Mikado; and what will'happen if victorious Japan make pretensions to pre-eminence in the Southern archipelago commanding Australia? Certain conse? quences may arise which have not been vntlclpated by the authors of the Ireaty." England Begins to Reflect. The English In India, who at first had ecen in jnp??n nothing but a valuable ally engage^ in* holding Russia's attention while they did their business In Thibet, Afghanistan and Persia, are beginning to reflect, and I.ord Curzon rs driven to take severe measures against the influence ex? ercised by the Japanes* upon the Hindus. It Is realized even In India that there Is room in Asia for Russia, and for England ?a view that Lord Salisbury held, and that Mr. Balfoui? and M.'Witte . hold. Finally the mnst Important English news? papers of Japan, the Kobe Chronicle and the Dally Mall, have put the Japanese on their gu.'trd against the temptation they Incur of falling to keep their pledges, even In what concerns the Independence of Corea. On the other hand, Germany aspires to be mistress of the sea, and England can? not surfer that loss without herself be? ing lost. Tito naval programme, of Ger? many, as linns been repeatedly stated officially In the Reichstag, Is openly di? rected ngnlnst England. The European foe that, England has to fear Is not at , Bt. Petersburg. The Englishmen who direct their energy (Continued on Fourth Page.) LEARNING ART OF WAR.

They are only eighteen years old, under? sized, according to American standards, and handicapped by an imperfect knowledge of English. These two Celestials bear the proud flonpr, of being the first of their race to enter West Point. The reason for Cadets Chen and Wen having entered the Military Academy, where Uncle Sam trains his officers, is the hope that China may have a military head and leader like other nations. G????!! TALKS His Verdict on Qbcrammerga? Event is Not Altogether Favorable. PEASANTS ARE AROUSED Much Dismayed at Production o? Play in Other Cities. (Special Cable to The Times-Dispatch and New York Herald, ? (Copyright, by the New -York Herald Co.) LONDON. July S??Mr. Dnnicl Froh? man Is the first American I have seen In London "" so far who has attended the peasants' play at Oberammergau this summer. His verdict Is not altogether favorable. Mr. and Mrs. Frohman hawj been trav? eling In Belgium, Gerrnany ard Switzer? land, and were In Munich two weeks. "The play at Oberammergau," said Mr. Frohman. "Is a combination o? the Pas? sion play and the story of David and Saul. It is called "The School of the Cross." It was well rendered, but Is' rather prosy and undramatlc, though lur mlnous from a Biblical point of view, and made Interesting by the introduction of living tableaux from the well known Passion play, which began with the entry of Christ into Jerusalem and endiid with the final catastrophe on the croit. "This gave the production special Inter? est, inasmuch as those who have not seen the Pa-sslon play were able to get a glimpse with the originai? ?? the cast, ? I think this Is shrewd from the money point of-view, as the thrifty villagers hoped to draw money to their coffers, "rfie ten years' interval hetween the Passion play porformnnces being too long to wnlt. "But, as In the case of 'Parsifal' at Beyrouth, the Oberammorgnu folk aro much disturbed by the fact that the Pas? sion play Is now produced In other places on the Continent. They nro as much dis? mayed as Frau Wagner was as to t.ho financial effect of this encroachment on their right of pre-emption, still none can render the great work so offootlyely as these peasant folk, who aro not the hum? ble Impersonators the outo:? world thinks them, but Intelligent, unsophisticated, devout people, and living slmplo lives, l?\jt; withal, prosperous. "These performances continuo till Sop. tomber, twice a week, nnd will doubtless divide Interest In that part of the world with the annual Wagner cycles In oppo? sition to Beyrouth. Still, when I saw the performances there were many empty seats." Mr. and Mrs, Frohman sailed to-day on tho Philadelphia,. Many Residences, Blown Away in Provinces, But Nobody ? Was Killed.

PARIS, July 8.?Stormy weather hie -been experienced In Paris this week, and though the great event, the international cup race, was not influenced by meteoro? logical conditions, their effect has been generally unfavorable to sporting and so? ciety reunions, Sunday, It is true, was wonderfully bright, and people were able to sport their summer finery with safety. The following day was extremely-' hot, and somewhat cloudy. The same conditions obtained Tuesday, until evening, when a storm with heavy rain burst over the city. Wednesday w-as extremely gloomy, the afternoon being showery, while a drenching rain fell In the evening, ac? companied by a rapid fall in the tempera? ture.? ' . These vagaries of the weather affected the dog show, held at the fashionable club in the Bois, adversely, for many of the fair exhibitors sacrificed their chances in their various sets rather than risk their tolllettes. A dull and cool morning on Thursday was followed- by a bright afternoon, admirably suited for the cer mony accompanying the translation of the body of the American naval hero, Paul Jones, which, on leaving the church was greeted with a brilliant burst of sunshine. Light showers later In the evening proved, however, that conditions were still stormy and unset? tled. ' Damage From Storms. In the provinces much damage was caused by storms. Sixty houses wore swept away by a tornado' at Cernay and the grain crops m the Department Du Nord'suffered considerably. In every di? rection trees were uprooted.

CHICKED EATERS Big Food Scare Sends London Into a Panic of Fright. PHYSICIANS SAY DANGER IS GREAT Public Feeling Awakened to What May Have Been Cause of Case of Tuberculosis. Commission-Will Make a Thorough In , vcstigation. (Special Cable to The Times-Dispatch and New York Herald.) (Copyright, by the Now York Herald Co.) LONDON, July 8.?There seems to be no end to the scares raised In London about poisonous matter of some sort or other lurking ln delicacies of the table. Last year It was the oyster which was condemned by reason of numerous foul beds upon which they were kept. Now even a more necessary urtlcle ot diet has been condemned for something worse than the trouble for which the oys? ter was driven from the dinner table. Thirty per cent, of the poultry reared in this country and subsequently served up at table, have suffered from some form or other of tuberculosis. Tins is lilt startling ?tatement made by a poultry .expert when asked his opinion regarding )the report that the Royal Commission 'now considering the whole subject of tuberculosis was about to consider the question of tuberculosis in poultry. It is not a new, suggestion by any means. It has been dwelt upon before at meetings of the medical faculty, but it Is only now that a commission is about to take the matter Into serious con? sideration that public feeling has been awakened to what may have been the cause of many cases of consumption. The authority quoted above offers the comforting Information to lovers of poul? try that such diseases as roup, wet roup, swelled head, dropsy of the wattles, gapes, liver disease and pip, all of which are the bane of the poultry farmer, ari mere'ly different forms of tuberculosis, and "there arc districts In England," says an official of the National Pouljry Organization society, "wh.pre.lt is Im? possible to carry on poultry farming, owing to the presence of the germs of tuberculosis in the ?Oil. t have frequently seen in the best poultry stores and in restaurant windows skinny birds which to the expert, eye obviously havo had tuberculosis. ''Personally I consider there Is great danger to the public health In thousands of yards where poultry is reared under the most filthy conditions, and birds from most of these find their -way to the Lon? don market."

The' racing for the International Cup, while discussed ? with ?

The excitement, which is Increasing, is quite In another direction, and the "pros" and "antis" of automobilism are waxing very wroth against each other. The "pros" were confident that what they termed th? senseless and outrageous order excluding the electric, as ; well as the petrol driven automobile from Hyde Park during the afternoon parades would on representation to the House of Cords be rescinded. Now they are furious that it Is not. It was Lord Rosslyn who championed the causo of the pro-automobilists in (G?? Lords, as far as electric broughams were ? concerned, but Lord WlndSor, the first Commissioner of Works, was adamant in refusing to Bee a difference between tho silent, non-smelling electric ?and other automobiles complained of chiefly for their smell, and so the antl-automoblllsts were delighted, and are manifesting their delight to such a degree through the medium of the press that the "pros" are naturally all the more exnsporated at the check that has been put upon automobil? ism in Hyde Park.
