great reputation promises" During \
stay of several weeks his interest was
kept constantly ON the alert. and went

WAR scARES THAT WE'RE REAL.

The Panic Of 1887 In Germany and the
Unseen Causes In st. Petersburg.
Persons who passed the winter of
lsse-S7 in Berlin are not likely to for
get the great war scare of that season.
They must remember the succession of
great speeches with which Prince Bis
marck tried to force an army bill
through the reichstag, the infiamma-
tory leaders in which the Berlin press
discussed Germany's relations to
France and Russia, and the intense
nervousness which seized the whole
nation when it became evident that
the reichstage would be dissolved and
new election held. Those who have not
known war scare from experience, who
from the safe distance of three thou
sand or four Thousand miles were wont
to laugh at war talk as q cry of
''Wolf," "Wolf," can not imagine the
excitement which then pervaded every
home. shop and factory in the empire.
Every day and every newspaper Jedi
tion brought new rumors of IN inter
national crisis Now it was the sus-
pension of all furloughs. then the
hurrying of empty railway cars to
Metz and other convenient points near
the French frontier; again, the in
crease of the coal reserve near the Rus
sian boundary. Even the purchase of
horses-the unmistakable sign of m
approaching mobilization-was report
ed dozen times in the restaurants
Inter den Linden and in the Behren
Strasse, where subordinate officers
and politicians are accustomed
to gather. In the houses the one topic
after the late dinner was the prospect
that Karl or Fitz must 60 soon to the
front-for in = country with universal
military service there is not house
hold to which the word mobilization
fails to bring its fears and sorrows. In
the shops the clerks went about with
long faces and the proprietors were a.
ways ready with the exclamation:
Zach, there is no business! If they
would only strike out and fight it
would be better than this suspense"
In the great industrial cities the
manufacturers were begging for the
latest news from authentic sources. for
the ordering Of their goods had been
reduced one half, and calculation upon
the future had become impossible.
After the election the government
got its majority for the army bill. The
fever which had shaken the nation for
weeks gradually went down. There
was . revival of business The E1-
glish newspapers came out with their
stock comment that Bismarck had
beaten the big war drum merely TO
frighten the people into doing his viii.
Even many German editors, when they
found themselves we'll ont Of the
woods, took pains to seo& It this fa-
