lam is not Germany, and the tone OF German
sentiment. SO far as can be CLEANED from
newspaper comment, is decidedly adverse
to war.
sALIsBURY's GALLERY PLAY.
1t is not in the power Of the German En-
peror to declare war unless 1t be de-
rensive one. To declare war, If not merely
defensive, the emperor must have the con-
sent of the Bundesrath, and it is believed
that the German commercial and colonial
interests would exert all their influence
to prevent a declaration OF war against
Great Britain. Such a war would un-
doubtedly be disastrous to those interests
and no one is quicker to see them than the
Germans themselves.
1t will therefore dcvolve on The British
government to declare war and it can be
stated that scarcely anyone believes that it
will do so. There can, however, be
no denial made OF the fact that England
is putting herself in a condition of pre-
paredness for any emergency that may arise.
Popular opinion supports this policy
and would support war should it be
necessary to preserve British honor or the
integrity OF the empire, but it is not thought
now that either is threatened, and there
are not lacking persons who do not hesitate
to declare that Lord Salisbury is playing
to the gallery"
