Say THE WORLD IN ARMS. SIC
A General War Unavoidable.

.as4sr
The New York Herald sets the num-
Der OF armed men In Europe as'follows:
"France has an army Of one million
three hundred and fifty thousand
North and South Germany combined
have an army of one million two hum
dred and thirty thousand. Austria has
an army of one million and fifty-three
thousand. Russia has an army Of one
million four hundred aud sixty-seven
thousand! Italy has an army Of nearly
five hundred thousand,' The writer
then continues: - ~ - - "
oThc European nations are already at
war with each oti1er;- for this armed
peace, although it may breed fewer Bit
ter enmities, is scarcely less grindingly
oppressive and even destructive than
actual war. This state of things, how
ever, cannot last. A change il necessary
and imminent. Europe is\ on the eve
of great struggle. The struggle will
be for the mastery of the Continent.
Not Immediately, but at an early day,
Europe will be arranged in two hostile
divisions. 1t will be the Latin races
against the German races. Which will
win cannot for a moment be doubted.
The Latins have had their triumph
once. 1t was great and noble triumph.
But there can be no second Roman en-
pire. The empire of Charlemagnc,
great as in some senses it was, has. OF
been called, a success by history. Held
together by one strong will, it persisted
when that cohesive force ceased to ex-
ist. Napoleon the First. tried to build
, up the old edifice, but it would not do.
In spite of all his skill the attempt prov
ed an egregious failure. The new EN-.
pire persisted and its architect persisted
with it. The empire which shall grow
out of the approaching struggle shall
,findits headquartersRih the North, and
shall be controlled by forces born in O
northern cline. y The great sGel{Kan
race is. to rule Europe. and through Eu.
rope the Old World, Just as the Anglo.
Saxon race, an ,offshoot of the same
great stock, is to rule the. New. We
shall have in Europe terrific conflicts
Nation will war against nation; race
will war against race. But natiouyIwill
become less numerous and races will
amalgamate. Europe is doomed to be-.
come a great federal association; but
the centre of the new association will
be found in the North, and the control
ling power will be in the hands of the
Germans. We have nothing to do with
fate. We speak only of force, and the
history of the ages and the aspect Of the
times justify our judgment. r., ogr5 III
