The story may or may not be true
that England refuses to interfere with
Germany's free hand In China on the
condition that Germany does not
coerce England in Egypt. but 1t is a
reflection on the position OF England
that such story should even be told
Time was when England was not sus-
pected capable OF such trades and
agreements. England in an earlier age
would have asked neither advice, az
sistance nor federation In holding
Egypt. There is nothing more remark
able In modern history than the self
abandonment Of Great Britain Of the
position Of frst-class power.

half of Berlin's streets are now lighted

and five times as powerful as the old

rapidly in the other streets, and the
city, with consumption of 10,000, 900
cubic meters of gas. will have five
fold the light heretofore obtained from
100000. The 100000 oil lamps
burned nightly in England cause 800

The great European powers, Eng
land. France. Germany and Italy, have
cut the continent Of Africa up into
pieces and each taken a share. Moth
Ing like 1t was ever accomplished with
so little noise in the history OF the
world. China is now the victim they
are all looking toward with covetous
eyes. The scramble is just beginning
and 1t looks today as though
before one year goes by ev-
cry great European power will
demand a slice off from the celes-
tial empire. Unless the thieves fall
out there is no power that can save the
dismem berment Of China.

inequality increases as society ad-
vances from the elementary TO the
complex And so does philanthrophy
But because of this are we prepared
to return to the original tribal condi-
ton? Hardly. 1t is in the effort to
remove inequality and ameliorate its
effects that should engage every good
citizen, that the whole moral nature
OF the community is advanced with the
Increase of its material wealth.
