Prince Bismarck Is an adept in aca
dcmic ratiocination. His opinion that
the desire for war in any nation will
override and annul treaties hardly agrees
with his opinion that the tcrrors of wars
will ward them off, and neither gives the
slightest indication of what he really
thinks. The non-committal opinion he
gives need not have been prefaccd with
such apologize disavowal of its being
considered as touching the treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain. II was obitcr dicta to such an ex-
IRENE that it touched nothing at all and
was without the most remote reference to
any special case.
