England and the Ultimstun& Habit.

Whatever foundation there may be for
the latest war scare in the east, it can
hardly fail to serve one good purpose.
England has lately fallen into the ''ulti-
matum habit" to an extent which ser-
ously compromises the peace of the uni
verse. 1t is possible that this ultimatum
habit might be checked If Great Britain
found itself compelled to face the conse-
quences of a rebuff from Russia. At any
rate, even the most aggressive foreign
secretary would prefer not to have too
many ultimatums in circula tion at once.
