IF HE CAN FOOL ENGLAND

| London, Nov. 2e.-The Contemporary Re
view. just issued. contains sensational
anonymous article entitled The Arch
Enemy of England" This is the German
emperor. The writer alleges that the kali
ser seized Ksio Chou by an agreement
with Russia to prevent England getting
it, and the car holds his personal promise
to vacate it when called upon, Russia pro-
viding Gtrmany with coaling stations else
where.
The writer declares the kaiser had drawn
up d complete plan arranging for the ma
va. superiority of France. Russia and Ger
many over England four years hence,
when England is to be compelled 10 make
humiliating terms throughout the world,
leaving Germany the chief commercial col
onial power.
All these plans have suddenly been
thrown into confusion by the American
drawing together.
The article. which is sure to attract at
tention for its extraordinary attack upon
the queens grandson, continues:
THE American people, with character
istic shrewdness, have detected this with
resentment and hostility and are in no
mood TO pct up with browbeating from
anyone. Considering that the Americans
took no inconsiderable part in opening
China and Japan 10 external influences,
the only ground for surprise is that they
have been so slow in manifesting interest
in the situation in the far east, but now
that the impulse has been supplied and
an assertion of the claim TO have a voice
in it has been made, there will be no
drawing back or hesitation in pushing
matters to a conclusion.
at is precisely in the far east that the
action-the mere presence Of the United
States is so disconcerting and disagreeable
to the German emperor.
1T disarranges all his plans, deprives
himself and allies of that sscendancy in
the China seas which they have twice as
serted for their own benefit and from
which they saw a long train Of future ad-
vantages.
Under such circumstances the contin-
ued proximity of American and German
squadrOns al Manila, aggravated by the
demeanOT of the German officers, is full of
peril. The peril may pass off, but will only
do by the withdrawal of Germany's
pretensions.
AT this moment the question turns on
whether the German emperor can induce
Russia and France TO join him in a demon
stration of superior naval force to that
possessed by the United States, both in
the Pacific and the Atlantic, ard the an
swer TO that question largely depends on
wheher he and the czar Of Russia between
them can exercise sufficient personal pres
sure in England to induce our govern
nent, in return for some empty conces-
slons in Africa, some easily broken prom |
ses as to China, to hold its hand to hest !
tate for the necessary moment while they
enforce their will on the United States.
ms is TO be the real peril to the crea-
ion of real Anglo-Saxon alliance.
From the very beginning of the crisis
n the far east the English policy has done
lothlhg but hesitate and give way; has al
C"ed and assisted the creation of diff
icuitles that never would have arisen if
