England's Position.


Statesmen the world over are dis
cussing Lord Salisburys great speech
at the dinner of London,s lord mayor
last week. 1t defines England's atti.
tude and policy toward the world abou,
as plainly as can be expected from one
SO high in power. 1t indicates thai
while he believes the occupation 81
Fashoda will not lead to trouble al
present, he is not sure that serious
difficulties may not hereafter be pre-
scented. He virtually said that Eng
land would never give up her intention
to control the Nile valley, which is only
restating the position that has been
maintained for years. A protectorate
over Egypt was not announced, pos
sibly because he thought the results
England is aiming at may be ac-
complished without taking that step
Meantime preparations for action are
going on in the English and French
navies. This activity does not neces-
sarily mean that war is near. 1t salts
fies the people sometimes to know that
their government is keeping a close
watch. and intends to be prepared for
trouble if it should come.
Lord Salisbury practically said that
England could take no part in the
Cars plan for disarmament, simply
because she could not afford to do so.
He said, "If Great Britain should ever
permit her sea defences to weaken her
whole empire would come gathering to
the ground" which is, of course, as
Premier. England is SO isolated in
Europe that the idea of self-preserva-
ton must be constantly kept in mind.
Salisbury's reference to the introduce
ton of the United States into Eastern
questions, in relation to the Philip
pines, as a grave and serious event,
which event, however, lis likely to con-
duce to the interests of Great Britain"
cannot be construed as bid for the So
much talked-of- alliance, but the re-
mark indicates that whatever this
country may do in the Philippines will
cause no alarm in England, a fact
which has been we'll understood ever
since the close of the recent war.
The drift of the whole speech was
simply to show that England means
to maintain the position she now holds
in Egypt and elsewhere, and that she
is prepared to defend herself if she is
attacked. No reference was made to
son that the threatened friction there
may be the most dangerous of all.

In the All-Maine team as here pre-
sented. the University of Maine has no
representative, and Colby only one, but
as these two teams are so plainly be-
low the standard of the other two, this
year. they can make no complaint.
Both have been defeated by Bowdoin
and Bates by good sized scores, with
out being able to score themselves.
Scannell, the Colby captain, who
played most all of the game for his
team, earns his place as guard, how
ever. At center Bodwell is easily the
best man on the four Maine teams.
Had Bird of U. of NJ played center,
perhaps this would not have been true.
Bodwell is himself better guard than
center, but he has played center in half
a score hard games, and has not
found his match in Maine With
Scannell at one guard, the other is not
so easily selected. Wentworth of
Bowdoin, Bird of U. of M, and Saun-
ers of Bates, are all powerful men IN
their place. The work of the colored
giant with the ball, especially in the
game against Bowdoin, gives him a
shade the best of it. Wentworth in
twice as many games, however, has
been uniformly a hard, reliable player.

A contributor in a London paper sug-
the proper floral emblem for the United
States. He says that it Is beautiful
flower that it is indigenous to Ameri-
part in the solace of the human race,
and that it will serve to perpetuate
memories of the American exploits in
Cuba and Manila, both great tobacco
countries. All of which may be true,
but it will be some time before such an
idea is carried out. America is none
too proud of the fact that it has made
so many millions slaves Of the tobacco
