! Should the present embrOgliO in Europe
result ina general war. thereare, ofcOurse,
Farious possibilities with reference to the
distribption Of thecombatauts. 1t is GER
tain that no one OF the poBets concerned
really desires TO go tOEAr, but tpFobably no
one Of them is more desirous Of peace than
Germany. During the last two years the
German Emparor and his Chancellor have
distinctly figured as peace makers, and the
maintenance Of peace was in the first place
the great object of the triple alliance, Ger
many standing between husband Austria
Is mediator for the accomplishment Of
that purpose. And If any reliance may be
placed upon reports, the condition has been
found one very difficult to maintain. Nov,
while it Is conceivable that the three pow
ers.Ehich partioned Poland might, i let
alone, quietly divide the European prov
inces Of Turkey among Themselves in a
manner mutually satisfactory, it seems
pretty certain at present that Germany
would not be pleased to. see Ruse.a in pos
session Of eonstantihople. Austria also is.
very Jealous Of Russian aggrrandizement in
the same direction. In case Of war, there
fore, it is as least possible that, sooner or
later, Austria may be found fighting on
the side Of Great Britain, while Germany
may maintain neutral attitune.-Pstts-
