Diary is settled, the i've Empires will
'malch," aud the nnnovanccs pro-
duced by mere contiguity may be
most serious. just look at what
happened in Europe less than two
years ago. The Russians, moved by
some impulse never clearly explained,
but supposed TO be a determination TO
give Austria a hint, suddenly filed
Poland with troops, including wholly
needless and extraordinary masses Of
cavalry. Military men hold that if
RUSSIA ever strikes either ut Austria
or Germany she will begin by throw
ing forward such a body OF cavalry
as has hardly been een in war ; and
the Germans, who are all soldiers,
grew restless and alarmed. A great
many expected actual invasion. So
high did the feeling rise, that u whis-
per at coming war went Q all l!u-
rope and Prince Bisma'ck, unable
to endure the situation, either made
representations at st. Petersburg
or, rs some folk say, placarded Berlin
with Il map showing the distribution
OF every Russian regiment within a
certain distance of the frontier, thus
warning the Russian War Office that
II was closely watched. Whatever
he did il was cffectual for the Russian
cavalry sid back as they had slid
forward, and there was peace {; but
the danger for a moment was most
serious. Flat is the kind Of thing to
winch we shall now be exposed. On
any fine morning the lndipn Govern
ment, which has agents a long way

that troops are concentrating, either
towards Balkh or 1erat, upon Rus

And il it makes representations to

"Intertpring with the internal military
arrangements of n neighbouring and

suppose, is TO concentrate the lturo-
pear Army in the North OF India

Viceroys have in practice fixed their
own boundaries by simply laying
them down, and arresting or shooting
anybody who ventured to overpass
them the West Indian Colonies are
defined by the sea, British Guiana by
forests which nobody wants to occupy;
and the Canadian Dominion by Il
broad river and a State which a gene
ration ago settled the boundary queS
ton much to its own advantage, and,
having since become friendly, has
never raised it again. E~xceptin South
Africa, where the rise OF a petty
White State, not more powerful than
many an English country town, has
already produced haIf-a dozen qnes-
tions about boundary, the En@lislm"n
OF to day have never "marcied"
territories with a great Power, or felt
a%cutely what every continental State
feels every day, the absolute necessity
for boundaries as defined, as perma-
nent, and as unmistakable as the walls
Of n house. They need not be "natu-
raj" boundaries, that Is, mountains
or rivers, and often are nothing but
mere lines-for example, there is no
natural boundary between Germany
and Russia-but they must be definite,
known, and agreed to by both side.
1t they were not, there would be war.
Diplomatic skill can do much but in
civilIsed countries, it cannot induce
the populations To. endure a debat"".

from Su>pecting that any movement

when frontiers are defined there is

last year, great States do not like +"
see masses of troops approaching
their borders but if they were vague
or doubtful, war could not be prevent
cd. Englishmen have been fire" OF
such troubles for centuries and now
that they are beg inning, hardly know
how 10 act. Still, they must act, and
on the whole. experience of The world
shows they can ONLY aci in on" way.
In the course of events, the expanding
Russian Empire has rolled up SO near
TO AfghaniStan tia there is now Only
4 drbateable land bel ween them; and
A%fghanistan being IA protected, though
not u dependent State, Il British
frontier in practice marches with that
of Russia. The fact itself is ugly
enough, as we shall presently show;
but unless the right action is taken,
its ugIlness will speedily be une"dura-
hle. There must be a boundary fixed,
as absolute, us irremovable, and as re-
cognisable at all times as that between
Russia and Germany. 1t need not be
a visible one indeed, if it were posi-
hle to adop, a parallel of latitude, as
we might have done a few years ago,
that would be best OF all but it must
be one past dispute. one which any
decentIy educated surveyor on either

little chance of error or debate AS it
he stated the result of a multiplication

suspicion coming lit, such war ar law
suit is always bitter.
SO far the Russian Government
and the British Government are in
accord, and St. Petersburg assented
to the London proposition that
the frontier should lie defined.
The British Commission TO define it
was Gespatc 'ed AMI if the Rus>it IN
Commission had been despatched too,
they would by this time have made
a frontier, the effect of which would
have been that no aggression could
occur unless war was deliberately in
tended. II it did occur, Russia or
Afghanistan would hang up or i'm
prison the aggreSsors, and leave the
other side 70 Submit-IS We submit
if English thieves are imprisoned in
PaFiS-r to proclaim that the ag-
erosion was deliberate, and that they
meant war. That, though not a good
sltuatIm IN, is not an uncomfortable one,
and is, at all events, The situation Of
Continental Governments, more espe,
cialIy Of Germany, which is hemmed
IN, i'll that precise fashion, on three
sides. The Russian Government,
however, didnot send its Commission
but instead either sent. or, IA, is more
probable, permitted General Komaruf
10 send, troops who occupied part of
the d45ateable land, including, as is
believed in London, Il district which
mas hitherto been Afghan past debate.
In other words, the Russian Govern
ment, Instead OF awaiting the award
of a Commission it had helped to APP
point, superseded that award by a pre-.
urinary decision which, it says, in
the interest of its Turcoman subjects,
it must support by force. Now, will
our Liberal friends just give us any
reason why AfghaniStan is bound to
bear that proceedingf Would any
State not paralys d by want of re-
arc bear it for an hour7 1t is
utterly unfair; and The Russian Co
vrrnment, IN sa"c'ioning it, if it does
sane ion it, gives as good IA cause tor
war as it would have done if, after
acceding to Il Commission to deIimit
B .s>arahiH, il had poured an army
into tn" disputed d SrictS One con
temporary says the districts ale of no
value; and though we doubt the fact
-'siatics v%alnin9 Salt Likes much
as we value Fi>herie<-so be it.
What has that TO do with the question,
which is simply whether Afghanistan,
ha ing agreed to have It's boundary
s.ttled by a penceful commission,
should submit IT, see il settled In an
Iicipation.of that Commission by vio-
lemcr7 W. cannot conceive how de-
cent men can deny the Afghan right
to resist, or question that it is morally
right Of us 10 assist them in resisting.
Whether il is expodient to assist them
is a Different matter, as to which we
shall produce only two arguments
We said we would; and if we do not,
the whole of A~fohanislan, from a
friendly country, will become a vast
debateablr land. upon which, at ID
long date. huSsia and ENGLAND must
