THE statue OF Germany recently un-
veiled with such imposing ceremonies
we'll expresses the present condition of
knrope. Germany is dominant; the
German emperor is virtually the dicta-
tor of Europe; neither king nor pope

man people and to the aged emperor,
that this great power is used to con-
serve the interests of peace. Every
nation, while Germany retains its
strength and pursues its present policy,
will be free to develop its internal
strength, but must make no attempt to
interfere with its neighbor. or to ac-
quire foreign territory. 1t would seem
