vices, after engaging in g conflict with
Russia, for which his unaided forces are
ins dequaie, and if We do so, can We ex-
pect that the Afghans Will not deem
themselves betrayed and throw them
selves into the. arms of . stronger power?
Says the Telegraph: We do not know
that two governments have yet estAb-
llshed anything like sufficiently power
full conductors 70 carry on the electric
feeling of nations. As matter OF fact

SOUNDS PEACEFUL

that Washington, the French minister
at London, has telegrarhed De FFeyer-
net that there need be no fear Of war be-
tween England and Russia, as the two

settling the Afghan frontier question.
A JUST CRITICISM.
The Standard speaks IN q leading az
ticle to the following effect: Nobody
who has the honor of England at heart
can help feeling that the government is
paying a disastrous price for the respite
which 1t is proposing to secure. Cont :
mental critics are careful TO hold up the
mirror 30 as TO show our contemplate
figure. Russia has once more gained q
triumph at our expense. She has gained
the credit which we have lost; We, on
the other hand, have not secured peace.
That degree of illusion Is simply impos-
sible, however sanguine we may be.
The conflict has only been postponed TO
some future time, and period of great
defensive armaments has opened for the
British empire in India.
