WHAT CAN ENGLAND DO ?
The D%ifticuIts that EmbarTasS
and the Dangers that Threat
en- Her.

Sir Edward Sullivan, in the follows
ing brief and very pointed commu-
nication to the London Morning
Post presents a very interesting
view of the embarrassments that
Russian success has cast upon Eng
land
SIR-Is the Turkish Empire to be
destroyed and are her provinces to
be divided? These are the questions
of the hour. Russia, Germany, (un-
Gle and nephew and Italy and many
iackals and obscure birds Of prey, who
hope to pick the carcass slain by
their powerful allies, say eyes. .
Austria is divived-half her subjects
say Yes" half say emo" She is
checkmated by Germany and Italy.
France would say "No," if she could,
but she. again is checkmated by Ger
many and Italy. England alone says
Ono" On the enc side, therefore,
stands England and Turkey-Turkey
PROSTATE, crushed, bankrupt, her
bravest slain, her strong places taken
from heron the other side Russia,
Germany, and Italy, with Austria
and France as neutrqls. What can
England do? She has a powerful
navy, She can send to the seat Of
war an army of so, coo men. For
defense of warfare $4,000 British
troops still constitute q great military
force. For aggressive warfare in
these days of gigantic ornaments
they merely constitute & corpse
d'armee. a year ago $4,000 British
troops would probably have enabled
the Turks to repel invasion, to defend
the line OF the Danube and save KarS;
but twice that number could not now
free their country from the Russian
grip. With an army Of 80, 600 men
we cannot attack, but we car defend.
What. then, are we to defend?-
Doubtless we can make Constantine
pie impregnable and the Dardanelies
impossible; but what then? In such
a case Russia would stop short At
Adrianople and prosecute the war in
Asia Minor and in Syria. In the
meantime, while We were defending
Constantinople, that was not attack
ed, and guarding the Dardanelles.
that were not threatened, Egypt,

which IS the very apple Of our East
ern eye, might fail to the lot Of 9TH
ers. AS yet Germany and Italy
have only given moral support to
Russia, but it is not impossible that
the moment we throw in cur sword
with Turkey they may throw in theirs
with Russia, If this occnrrs, and
the Russian, German, and Italian
fleets combined, the English feet
will have its hands full. With Mall
ia and Gibraltar to guard, and with
any army at Constantinople or GAL
lipOli to protect, it cannot spare
many ships to look after British inter-
ests in Egypt. Let US clearly realize
our position. 1t is useless to contend
against the inevitable. If Russi"
Germany, and Italy are deternin
to commit a great crime, and if At
tria and France sanction it, Euglat
alone cannot prevent it: but if t
action Of the great Powers of Euro
makes it clear to US that a new Law.
of nations is gradually taking posses
session of the mind, and coming to
sway the practice of the world a law
that rejects the balance of power,
that repldiates the obligations of
treatise, and recognizes the law Of
the strong as alone supreme; then,
when the last word has been spoken
in favor Of treatise and international
obligations, then the law of self
preservation will compel us to lock
after our own interests, and to take
care that in the melee of lawlesSness
and disruption we do not become the
victim Of some INSCRIPTIONS COmbi-
nation. Egypt and Crete belong to
our ally, Turkey, and We have no
more right to take them than Russia
has to take Bulgaria and Armenia; but
Egypt is the high road to India and
to our vast colonial empire, and it IS
absolutely necessary to the existence
of our empire that it does not fall
into hostile hands. We have no
right to take Egypt and Crete, bur
we have a right. and indeed it is our
bounden d2ty to ourselvs and to our
descendants, to take such steps As
will make their occupation by others
impossible. Everything points to
Egypt as the key of British empire
in the East. 1t is the only spot
where the military strength Of the
empire can be fully developed, where
the East and West join hands. With
$4,000 British troops in Egypt, a
British feet in Crete, the front door
open to supplies and reinforcements
from Malta, Gabralta Gad England,
and the back door, through the Red
Sea, open to supplies and reinforce
meEts from India, our position would
be impregnable, We could hold it
against the world.

THE BLUE GLASS MANIA ABROAD.
The blue glass curative process.
recently so recommended and almost
forgotten alread in this country, has
come to the froat again in England,
where DR. Davis, director of the in
sane asylum at Maidstone, kent
county. England, reports some extra
ordinary results of his experience
with blle,glass lighted apartments in
the treatment of insane PATIENTS
On some of them the effect was re-
markedly rapid. and on the third
day al underwent a radical change.
Hysterical girls, suffering from mems
tai weakness and commissions, after
the third day gave no signs of either.
LunaticS who constantly remained in
these rooms after three days asked
for water to wash themselves, which
they had never before done, and
they we're astonished that they had
previously been so uDclean. Raving
patients, whO broke everything in
pieces, after the third day expressed
their sorrow for their misconduct
DIR. Davis states that always on the
third day, when the critical moment
of a change for the better had come !,
the patient was effected with pains
in the head, which, however, we're
trausitory and we're followed by a
cessation of mental aud bodily all
ments. 1t is said that similar expe-
riments, with like success, have been
made in the health establishment at
Berndorf, near COb!enz, Germany.
