The War Element of the World.

Europe has to-day under arms four
millions Of soldiers Aud, although the
programme that was to have made this q
battle summer has been entirely changed,
even in peace il seems as though the ma
ior portion of the social forces were des-
tined to be absorbed in purely destructive
purposes. Europe is covered with cita-
dels and armed 10 tine teeth. Every day
new engines OF destruction are invented.
Fleets are multiplied ships are covered
with armor; floating citadels and batteries
are bull, TO move on the water. England,
for the first time in her history, has girt
herself round with fortresses. Germany,
philosophic Germany, Switzerland-the
neutral and pacifc-are perpetually drill
ing their citizens IN the exercise OF arms.
Az for France, she has within the last ten
wears doubled her war taxes, as England
has during the same period doubled hers.
France borrows untold millions for war /;
and England does the same. Austria bor-
rows, Russia boTrows, Piedmont borrows
all borrow for war. Amid all this
suppressed mutterings OF pent up thunder
rumble round the horizoLs OF the Euro
pean nations.
