Edltorially the Chronicle" saws:
The Cars encyclical is assuredly one
OF the most striking documents of the

dramatic If the Kaiser had issued il

THE Gar, hitherto overborne by vet

serted his natural desires. He is one

posal. If another great Power does
also' mucn Will be gained in the desired
direction"
The Daily Telegraph" says: "The
idea is so beautiful that we are re-
iuctant to throw cold water upon it.
but what is to be the basis of discus
sion? A conference which should re-
cognize that free and open markets are
for the advantage of the civilized world
would indeed pave the way to universal
peace, but short of this, we fear the
gathering will prove abortive.'
The Daily News" says: 1.-THE Gar
by his message has acquired a more
righteous and enduring fame than be-
longs to the proudest conqueror of his
tory. There is no quarter from which
such manifesto would produce a more
profound impression. Hitherto the
great obstacle was that nobody would
begin. The Car cannot be suspected
of making a virtue of necessity. We
shall hardly be wrong in attributing
the momentous policy to the Car him
self. 1t is not the pen of Nicholas. but
