SETTLE THE AFFAIR AT oS,,,
III THAC1EzR Ddator and manager,

III the Spanish American war is nro
aonged to the length some persons are
ancl1ned TO believe it viii reach there.
US more or less danger tina. other ma
1lors Will get mixed up in the affair.
France and Austria are already show
dng an inclination ITO side with the un-
fortunate nation so rapidly approach
Ding dts downfall, while Germany is
Saving wood and saying nothing" at
q rate that is d:sconcerting TO say tbs
least. This Is q time when ali nations
that are really friendly ITO the United
States should take stand which can
not be istallen, and it would be thu.
course OF wisdom for the d1ninist ration
at Washington to prepare to meet con-
tangsncies that may arise as q result of
the hostility OF any of the powers who
have so far refused to declare neutral :
dty.
Should amy OF the consequential ma :
fions OF Europe become involved in
1.-THE war it would be impossible to fore
cast the end for in that event it would
..-.>.J Iii.-
powers of the Old world would become.
involved. and, quite naturally there
would be AN alignment, directed
by self-lnteres,, which would put any
war of sbncie=nt history in the shade.
Fortunately, the United States have
resources enough and strength enough
ITO defy the world when il comes 10 q
question of defending home. Then. too.
an the event OF a general war, il is by
no means unlikely thar this country
would have powerful allies. The justice
syf l.aalS,a we'll 1I,lV,.r-
full lever-sef- interest-would dictate
the friendship of England and possibly
OF Japan. LAS q matter of fact, there
are already overtures Of friendship on
THE part of both Of these nations. The
influential newspapers of Japan are urg-
ing the government to permit the Uni
ted States to use the two magnificent
cruisers being buiht in this country in
the war now in progress. Engla nd $
manifestation of interest has been too
recent and too marked TO need reca-
piteiiation. With these two nations as
allies of the United States. a combina-
n uion would be formed which could not
only defy, but which could easily over
throw every other nation in the world
This, however, is merely speculation,
and no intelligent person can wish that
events may 50 shape themselves as to
make such a combination necessary.
