Russia, tie said constituted the worla's chief problems. He recalled when, exact- ly a year ago at the same board, he an- nouaced the abdication of the German Emperor. He did not believe that the few well-informed persons then exypected that the ensuing year would see such progress towards a settlement as has bzen made.
