OUR NEW INFLUENCE.

c ONE of the best authorities on European poll
tics attribute the recent change in the situation
- there to the effects OF our war with Spain. To
the victories of navy at Santiago and Manila Is.
due in their judgment the boldness OF Great
Britain in dealing with foreign affairs and the hesta
ton of the Continental alliances to act against her
The argument for this view OF the situation IS
simple Prior to the outbreak OF the with Spain
Great Britain was without friend among the great
nations of the EARTH and moreover, was by no means
sang,1ne that her navy than match for any
combination that could be brought against it. Under
such conditions Salisbury cautious to the
verge of timidty The nation like its leader, dis
trustful and willingly supported the waiting policy
on every issue that arose.
The war with Spain brought out strong public
sentiment in the United States favorable to Great
Britain and it demonstrated in a striking way the
superiority of American seamanshp in handling mod
ern navies Both of these things had stimulating
effect upon the British The first led to the concu
sion that Great Britain would have American SYM
pathy and probably American aid in of war
against heavy Odds and the second aroused belief
that her seamen like those of the United States,
would be SO much better fighting men than those Of
other races that she could afford to face all Europe
L need be and win in the conflict
Whether these ideas among the British. are just-
fed or not does not affect the situation The fact
that they are believed by the Government and by the
people is the important point Selfconhdence has as
much to do with the actions of nations with those
o. individuals The British longer cautious. The
empire has resumed the aggressive There is no
longer any sign of retreat from the most advanced
position either in Africa or in Asia.
Strangely enough, the idea of probable corpora
ton between Great Britain and the United States
seems to have affected the nations of Continental
Europe almost strongly the British themselves
Many of the abest journals in Germany and France
have discussed it as a coming menace to the world
Among these powers, therefore, there has been an
increased cautiousness just in Great Britain there
has been an increased boldness. Consequently we
now hear Salisbury declaring that the formal annexa-
ton OF Egypt to the empire may yet be accomplished,
and no protest from any quarter of the globe.
II these views be well taken have another illus
traton of the farreaching effects of and battles
Our military influence has become factor in the
great game Of international politics without any in
tention on our part OF exerting such influence Our
victories felt in the affairs of Asia and Africa as
well as in the Philippines and the West Indies, and
the end is not yet.
