The reasons fer the continued preva-
lence OF apprehensions of war in
Europe in the absence of any imrne-
date or definite cause of quarrel lies
in the consideration that the ircreas-

not be mGcr. longer borne. If, within
mutual iealousies, the mutual nations
will not disband their vast forces, they
must fight in order to secure disband-
