The historic phrase MY royal cousin"
Is no mere fiction In Europe at this time.
Most of the reigning families are init
mately related to each other by ties OF
birth or marriage. And that fact is often
referred to as guarantee of peace be-
tween the nations. little observation
Is sufficient. however TO show how futile
such guarantee is. For. In the first
place soVercigns do not always rule.
Most wars are popular wars, and not a
lew nave been irresistibly forced upon
of the Hellenes. for example. is ut The
present moment powcress beneath the
stress of public sentiment. Doubtless he
agrees with that sentiment. But II he
press II. he would probably be swept
from his throne by a revolution. And In
the second place. the closest kinship be-
tween sovereigns is not the slightest
pledge of amicable relations.
For instance. take the dynasties of
Great Britain and Russia. In the, last
reign before the present the Russian EN-
press was the sister of the Princess of
Wales, and the present Empress is n
Grand daughter of Queen Victoria. Yet
antagonism between the two realms has
been unconcealed and these relationships
nave done nothing to allay it. Great
Britain and Germany are at loggerheads.
ana the German Emperor is personally
= particularly bitter foe of England; yet
that Emperor is a grandson of the Eng
llsh Queen. An equally impressive ex-
ample to the same effect is given i'm the
present case of Greece. King George is
the brother of the Cars mother. and
thus the Cars own uncle. and Prince
George is the Cars own cousin and was
the savior of the Cars life: and the
Crown Princess. Sophia. is the German
, Empcror's sister. Yet Russia and Ger
many are in this crisis the implacable
foes of Greece. and their enmity is due
chiefly. to the personal enmity of their
sovcreigns.
Blood counts for little In the iron game
OF war. The only thing that can match
IRON Is gold. 1t was well pointed out BY
q writer in last Sundays Tribune that
the real bonds of peace in Europe are not
marriage certificates nor registers of
which represent the Indebtedness of the
nations. If the Turkish empire is de-
stroyed. who will pay the Turkish debt :?
That Is the phase of the eastern question
which is foremost in the minds of many
and they not the least influential of men.

The coming summer is not to be

NJ. Andree's plan to leave Spitzbergen
in balloon in the belief that he will be
able to drift over the pole. Many will
remember that he intended to under
take this last year. but the favorable
weather ended before he could CON-
plete his preparations. The govern
ment of Sweden aids the enterprise.
Mr.. Andree will carry about four
months supplies or food with him, in

he has good wind from the south, he
thinks he will be in the neighborhood
Of the north pole in day and half
to two days after starting. His hope
is that he will be carried across the po-
lar area. What he wants is a south
wind with a slowly falling barometer,
FOR he believes that under such condi-
tons the wind will persist in the right
direction as long as he has need of it.
Even if Andree crosses the polar area
and lives to get back. the difficulty viii
lie to do any exploring that win amount
to much. One CT the most interesting
questions to be solved when Mr.. Peary's
plan for completing exploration be-
tween Greenland and the north pole is
carried out is whether the deep sea dis

north of Franz Josef Land extends into

ton. and many others that still make
polar research worth while in the
opinion of the scientists. cannot it

Nevertheless there is as much incen-
tive for this undertaking as for the
majority of the attempts that have
been made to reach the farthest north
ern point of the earth.
