gain the rumor is revived Of better
methods.

Again the rumor is revived OF better
understanding between Germany, Great
Britain and the United States. Only the
military ambition of the emperor has stood
in the way before. 1t is the most logical
OF alliances and il It should include Japan,
with the integrity of China as one Of the
objects, it would be invulnerahle. France
and England are absolutely without any
community of interest and no nearer to
friendship than when Napoleon /. reigned.
Germany and France can never become
friends. Russia and Germany. as the two
great continental powers. must eventually
become rivals. England and the United
States have only commercial advantages
IN view and neither fears acquisition Of
territory from the other. This IS not the
case with Russia whose ambitions are like
ly always to involve interference with the
other powers.
