that Tor many years TO come war Is to
preyail-'.international war, civil war
and religious war; Loyson gave ex-
preston to these sad forebodings at a
banquet given in Geneva on Friday
last to the members of the information
al Law Conference He was frank in
saying that It was quite useless TO hope
for reign of peace on earth as long
as ''the moral perversity Of man" re-
manned, and that wars would continue
until evil was destroyed, The com
ing religious war was a renewal Of the
old conflict between the Church and
State the coming civil war would be
conflict between capital, and the COM
ing international war would be one led
on by the jealousies and rivals of nat
ions. The future of Europe was in
deed, can appalling one Mr.. Disra-
eli has lately taken care to express the
same opinion, and there is certainly
good reason for it. With the excep-
ton Of the civil war in Spain. all over
Europe is now at peace; but in all
probability the death of the Pope and
the interference of the Italian Govern
ment in the election of new pontitf
will be the signal of letting loose the dogs
Of war. The war once commenced,
all Europe would be drawn into it, and
even England would find it hard to
preserve her neutrality. The United
States alone can afford to be specta-
tor and not an actor in the conflict; and
when the combatants have torn each
other to pieces and the combat slackens
in consequence of sheer exhaustion,
the republic may step in as arbitrator
