1t r. Now Much Larger Than a Mans Hand
and Throws n Shadow over England.
The time has come TO describe the pre-
vailing naval panic in England as a gem
uine war scare. A fear amounting to
conviction has seized certain Englishmen,
who believe the coming spring viii see
Great Britain at war with one or more
great powers. Tho sources Of informa-
ton and the Judgment Of some Of these
persons entitle their opinions to respect.
They include some prominent members
Of the Conservative party and the editors
Of certain leading newspapers. Some
slight weakness In consols suggests that
the impression may be spreading 10 fnan-
cial circles.
Whether these sinister fo%rebodings are
based solely upon facts and reasons
known OF all men it is impossible to
say Some ground for apprehension
must exist when the conservatism of
English journalism is so far overcome as
70 lead the management Of at least one
great London daily TO undertake extern
sive preparations for a European wal Ia
the coming spring. More than n edi-
torial Office in Fleet street is getting ready
for a campaign. No editor has yet been
foolish enough to express his fears In
print. They conhne themselves, espe-
oially the Tory journals, to describing in
the gloomiest language the dangers
which would impend If wal should find
England u%nprepared. The situation In
the newspaper world proves at least the
sincerity Of the alarmist Tory press in
promoting a naval panic. This agitation
and probably other causes have already
had an important effect.
There is Of course no thought Of Great
Britain being the aggressor In the appre-
hended quarrel. The prophets Of war
profess to believe hat husband France
will take advantage Of any %provocation
to draw the sword against England, and
will seek 70 crush her by a series Of sud
den blows before Germany OF the triple
alliance can find an xcuse for joining in
the melee. They say that In spite Of
England's professions of neutrality, both
France and Russia are convinced that
she will, on some pretext, go TO Ger.

continental war breaks out. Therefore
