TIE prospect of war being declared by
England against Russia has been greatly
increased by the reported conflict of arms
between Russian and Afghan troops. That
quick index of disturbed national relations,
the financial market, has indicated its be-
lief in the imminence of war, and this
belief is fortified by fourpence advance

ket. 1t may be that the two countries
viii by this mischanee of troops on the
Afghan border be brought into actual
conflict but that either nation is anxious
