But Why war.


1t is difficult ior an Amerl can 10 un-
derstand why Germany should desire
war in view of the possible alliance be-
tween Russia, France, and perhaps
Belgium, against her; but the leading
military authorities in Germany are
oil opinion that the result of war
will leave the empire IN stronger
position than It has ever held in the
past. Austria is certain to be the ally
OF Germany IN the event OF war, for
victory with that power as against
Russia would mean large extension
of territory to the south east, which
would include European Turkey and
Constartinople. Bismarck thinks, and
with good reason, that the German
military system is at the highest lporut
Of efficiency, could face all Europe in
arms. The incentive to war Is TO secure
access to the ocean, SO that all the
commercial capabilities Of the German
empire could be fully developed. To
day this great military power is hem
med in from the ocean. True it has
Bremen and Hamburg, but these are
free cities, and though belonging to
the German empire are not well locat-
ed for commanding the commerce tn
Germany aspires to control. The
great commercial seaport on the con-
tinent is Antwerp. on the Scheldt, but
that outlet of trade is under the flag
OF the Belgian poyelnalst;, Ia the
possession of Germany, Antwerp,
would soon rival Liverpool, and the
| flag OF the fatherland would make its
appearance IN every maritime port of
the world. Were Holland to become
a part of Germany, Rotterdam would
come to the front as great seaport
All Europe believes that Germany, IN
view of her maritime ambition, wishes
to annex Holland and get possession OF
Antwerp. If Russia was worsted in a
great military duel, the Baltic pro-
vinces, the inhabitants of which are
mainly German IN language, and
Russian Poland, would come in to
the possession of the con-
quering Teutons. The Russian frontier
is now within three DAYS march Ct
Berlin, and slice of Russian territory
TO the east is very much desired by the
German rulers.-Demorests' Monthly
for November.

Peace or War inEarope.

The Hawkeye says: No matte
what the peace loving journals may
say to the contrary. the probabilities
of a general and bloody war in Europe
are as great as ever. The question of
peace or war continues, not only un-
settled but in such a precarious con-
dition that no prophet is bold enough
to dare venture his reputation upon
prediction as to how it will result. 1t
is not even certain that the powers
who signed the Berlin treaty will insist
on the preservation of its terms or will
use energetic means to preserve the
peace. Most Of them propose that
they desire to have all the conditions
Of that treaty preserved but there is
not one which has not reserved con-
dition, Austria declared through the
mouth Of the president of her parlia-
ment, that she reserves the right to
act independently of The treaty. A
French government organ says that
the signatory powers must recognize
accomplished facts, and the union OF
Bulgaria and eastern Rournelia is an
accomplished fact. A russian paper
in an article supposed to have been
dictated by some chiet dignitafy, says
that war cannot be permitted either to
force Roumelia back to the condition
from which sne has freed herself. or tc
change existing relations elsewhere
Everything points to an effort by the
powers to bring about compromise
but nowhere does 1t appear that COM
promise is possible. 1t looks very i'm.
probable though, and nothing definite
can be predicted. During the delay
the symptoms of a serious disturbance
are rapidly spreading.

your conscience is another mans con-
science, and your heart, like a bell, is
struck every time that he is in trouble,
1t is about as much as you can do to
take care of that one man. When one
really loves there is a carelessness
about ones own happiness, sense of

and energy put forth in developing the
life OF the loved one, as if your life lay
IN 1t. 1t is the nature of love to serve.

while passing a ditch stumbled and

and when the horse was getting up he
stepped on the boy twice, on the left

injuries he died Saturday afternoon.
