what German Journalists Think,

The Prussian press, according to the New
York Heratd think that the coming Spring
will bring with it war between their count
ry and Russia.
The Berlin correspondent of the paper re-
ferred to makes what is called a revelation.
He gives a confirmation of the statements
which have been made from time to time,
on the strength Of mere rumor, showing that
the apprehension of great European war is
seriously entertained by eminent and respon-
sible persons, they may be called the views
of the German people on tho present critical
situation, expressed by tbe leaders of thought
and opinion io the Reichstag and the Ger.
man press. And when we say that the utter
snces referred to include those Of DR.. Arthur
Levysohn, editor of the BerIiaer 7ags5latt /;
Herr Holdheim, editor of the opposition
polkszeitung; DR.. Dernburg, editor of the
National Zsstuns, and the far famed DR..
Windhorst, nothing more need be added to
show the weight of the communication.
But, it would appear looking upon facts
historically that Germany has just az much
to fear from France
France is bound to fight for Alssee and
Lorraine. Germany can make friends with
that country only, and Immediately, by the
retroeession of those territories. Unless
she does so it would appear the most hazard.
ous undertaking to venturs war with her
opposite neighbor.
Germany's army is not larger than that of
France. 1t would then seem suicidal for
the former country to expect to be able to
ward off successfully both enemies.
The German is a born soldier, to be sure,
but then the immense numbers Of her oppo-
nents will readily mako up for the difference
in individual tim5rc of the Russian or
Frenchman.
1t is impossible to suppose however that
Bismarck would allow himself to be caught
in such trap. This is the sheerest impos.
siblity of all.
And this last theory is we'll borne out by
the official treatment of the Bulgarian Com.
missioners by. Bsmarck's orders are that
Bulgaria must listen TO what Russia saws.
