England has reached the conclusion that such a
move Is within the bounds Of practical politics. The
writer points out that Germanys future expansion
must be colonial, and that France has similar IN
terests In this respect both France and Germany
are somewhat barred by Englands widespread
holdings The common belief that England is the
enemy Of every Power with colonial or maritime
embtIons the writer asserts supplies both French
men and Germans with argument In support OK
union Emperor William. II Is argued, Is acting
upon the suppositon that much as France dislkes
Germany she must dislike England more after the
Fashoda incident The Emperor dreams Of FORM
ing a coalition OF central and western Powers OF
the continent TO be used firstly, against England
secondly against the United States, and nnahy
against Russia though at the beginning the latter
Power will be included In the German frm. The
National Review" writer finds in these dreams an
explanation OF the hitherto almost inexplcaole POI,
icy OF the German Emperor toward the tinted
THE reason for Emperor william seeming de'
sire 10 quarrel unnecessarily with state OF s1ch
gigantic strength is that he wished 10 assume tne
position OF champion OF Europe against trans

The article says further:

THE Saturday Review" devotes a leading article
10 severe criticism of the American athletes who
possess virtues Oft associate with professional
training" and comes to the conclusion that Ameri-
cans are the better gymnasts and Englishmen the
better athletes.
THE Spectator" after congratulating itself thas
all the long races were won by Englishmen, says
the American team contained al least four irish
or Irish Americans.
While the American university athletes have been
made much Of during their stay In England, they
have not entirely escaped the criticism which gen.
orally greeted their predecessors here They have
been severely criticised. owing TO the fact that
they brought tape measure on the grounds and
checked the rings measured for their hammer
throwing and the English public has taken every
opportunity empha size the fact that the 'nglsh
won every event where stamina and endurance
were required At best the praise given TO the Amer
leans has been mixed with condescension. Pres-
dent Hunter OF the Cambridge University Athletic
Club saying In his speech at Saturdays dinner that
they really did not know or care exactly where
they came from, but satisfied they were real
good sportsmen, while Truth" this week says:
