The Italian Visit to Berlin.
IErOm the SDectatOY.l

of King Humbert with the Emperor
William, of the Savoyard and the
Hohenzollern, each at last in posses
sion of his Houses long fought-for
prize. The historian cannot see with
out interest such evidence that the
strange link which for so many centu-
ries has bound together the fortunes of
Germanyiand Italy isas strong asever,
and that, though each is now nominal
~ independent, the fortunes of both are
as closely united as in the days when
Guelf and Ghibeline were not for
gotten words. The soldier smiles
with gratifed contempt of the civilian,
az he reflects that one main result
of a struggle of ages has been to
bring the two fighting dynasties of
Europe to the top, and that William
and Humbert are among the first
men in the world because for centu-
ries their Houses have produced men
who have been soldiers from the
cradle. And the politician, at least
the English politician, is pleased,
because he sees in the meeting either
a guarantee of peace, or a proof that
the millions Of Slav rifemen will not
be allowed to crush the freer civil
sations of the West. Very few, as
ia natural, pause to think Of the less
cheerful meaning Of the meeting and
vet there is much in it which should
make the thoughtful reflective, if not
sad. The two soIdier-monnrchs who
are embracing with such effusion
represent the triumph of militarism
as we'll as of the n%ationalities ; they
are great because they can slay on
an unprecedented scale i; and as they
drive down through the long city
which has risen on the Spree.
the acclaim of the endless multitudes
contends, as the correspondents re-
report, and contends almost ia van
with the roar Of the welcoming
artillery. The symbol Of the Savoy
ard, now at the top OF his world, is
the crown with its inner bar of iron
and the symbol of The H~ohenzollern,
the stone throne supported on feet
of Cannon-ballS. A cynical poet
might end each stanza of a hymn OF
congratuI0;;On 10 the two monarchs
With the refrain, "For the sword is
master still !" and his thought would
not be altogether a cheering n for
mankind. The place Of force in The
world is great, for only the hammer
can weld o +; but in a meeting like
this, in this vast show Of military
grandeur, in this huge o Of
workers. every man of whom would
spring to attention as he heard the Or
der-that actually occurred during a
Berlin riot-in this council of states
men in uniform, the ascendency of
force is too conspicuous, and it is i'm
possible not to ask how it would be
with modern life if the force were
but misused. It is the most improbable
of thoughts, and therefore the safest
for an illustration but imagine how
it would be if those two men who are
Kings, but are at ease only in uniform,
we're to command that the freedom
of Switzerland should cease; aud

power, there snay yet be a lurking
danger. A universal Monarchy-we
use the phrase in its old political
sense-would not be the less Oppres-
sive to the world because it was
three headed. 1t was twO-headed
when the Bourbons were at their
worst as troubIers OF the world.
Prince Bismarck, Count KaInoky,
and Signor Crispi say in every des-
patch and speech that they are work
ing together for peace, and we en-
'irely believe them ; but how, if per-
ceiving great advantages ready to
their hands, they should work tOgeth-
er for war or aggrandisement ? Prince
Bismarck never quite ceases to hope
that Russia may join the League,
which would mean a partition Of the
Eastern Peninsula, and what should
we think of the great alliance then
The idea is afoat in England that
such combin ations to take spoil are
impossible, because of the progress of
democracy, because, in fact, "the
peoples" who are assumed 10 be
good, will prohibit them but is that
calculation or dreaming? We do not
ourselves believe that ''peoples" are
often better than the individuals who
compose them, and see how strongly
they are moved by ambition, how i'm
pe%riously by the hope of commercial
gain ; but we will admit the plea of
the democrats, and what can the
people do? Not "a third of Prussia
approved the great war of 1866, and
not a Pr ussian resisted it except by
criticism. Nations are now too high
ly organised, war il too rapid, the
cons equences of defent arc too severe,
for real resistance 10 the central will
in matters of military co"crrc. Let
but the order be given, let but the
troops move, let but the cannon
sound on the frontier, and the armed
nation Of the Continent must fight,
be the cause what it may. It cannot
risk an invasion of revenge. An
alliance which cannot be resisted is
an alliance under temptation to do
great things ; and great things in
external politics mean great spOIia-
tioOs, which may no doubt Ultimate
~ be beneficial, but also may not.
There is, moreover, another rea-
son which, SO far as we know, has
never been pressed upon politicians,
which gives to these great alliances
an aspect Of possible menace They
remove the limitations on the use to
be made of victory even after just
a 1t is of the highest Importance
to civilization that the use to be made
of victory should be moderate; and
when they stand alone, victOrs often
remember the future, and try not to
sow the seeds, of hatred 70 endure for
ages Prince Bismarck nfter Sadowa
acted on that principle, and Austria
received terms such as, we think,
were never. grantsd before to a de-
feated dynasty. The H~apsburgs did
not lose a horin or an acre, and are,
consequently, the close allies of
the Hohenzotlerns. But imagine a

1t is not only that . gcsat alliances has
to find ooMpeasations y for three or
four Powers instead of one, though
that necessity is most serious-for
instance, in 1915 it completed the
destruction of Poland, broke up
Italy, and nearly destroyed Saxony
but that the chiefs who WELD so
terrible an aggregate Of physical
force think themselves beyond the
reach of retribution. Had France in
1866 been an ally Of Prussia Instead
of a watchful though unprepared
enemy, Bohemia and Belgium would
have passed, must have passed., into
what their people would have regard
cd as permanent slavery. It is while
the To Dewnas are singing that the
danger lurking in great alliances
becomes most apparent. g
We trust we shall not be mistaken.
We are moi of those who believe that
war will cease, Tor war has its source
in human nature. We entirely ac-
knowledge that alliances may at
times be beneficial, or, as in 1913,
Indispensable for defence. And we
quite agree that the alliance celebrat-
ed by the Emperor William and
King Humbert was needful to avert
serious calamities from more than as
hundred millions of peaceful labour-
Ing folk. Austria and Germany were
in serious danger from a Franco.
Russian attack by land, and Italy in
still greater peril of a French attack
by sea. Indeed, we are disposed, as
we have often shown, rather TO exag-
gerate than to undervalue the danger
with which Italy was and is threa-
tened by France, and by the Ultra.

chorus Of approval without remem-

a grand temptation, or believe that

to minute Committees without q
possibility of their being miSused.
Prince Bismarck is a very great
man, not given, when he has got
all he wants, to further aggression;
but still, when an opponent too
