Prof. Dclshrlcx, lecturer on history i'll
the lIniye sity of Berlin, under the ,it,n
of "Englanl in the Fial,svtai aud The
European Powers" notes the violent
ferling OF resentment against England
that prevails ali over the cnniinantof
Europe, which gre:is Beer successes
with exullatiop. Public mealiugs are
held censuting the governments tor not
interfering. German hatred nf France
is gradually dying ou..anii bslng rapl ;c-
ell by hatred OF England. Some OF the
better class OF Germans are more reserv-
ed IN their expressions. Taey regard
their ties Of blood with tile English as
equal to those that ally them 10 the
Dutch, and look upon the Beers rs Il
half civilized people, while The English
are on the highest Level Of civilization,
While they give little credehce TO Eng

the equality Of the white races they do
not think that the right is wholly on the
side OF the Beers, Concpdipg all pos.
sible motives on the part OF England,
they still feel that she is lighting for
the paramount power in South Africa as
the preliminary step to the establish
ment Of British rule from the Cape to
the Nile.
This view is also taken in ali article
entitled "Great Britain On the War.patb"
by well known Russian pnbliclsi, Nlad-
imir Holmstren, whose views are i'll
dorsed by the great Russian statesmen,
Prince Oukhotomsky. He takes no stock
in England's disinterestelness. and cites
the fact that since she went to the assist
ance Of the Soudan, nearly the whole of
Eastern Africa has fallen into her lap.
He declares that all the achievements OF,
her diplomacy have heen concerted
schemes for conquest; that this Trans.
vaal war is one Of them and only another
exemplilication OF her bad faith and
mischeVious purposes. lie says that
this is the general Russian view CT the
present crisis in South Afric.s
As England's greatness dates from her
conquest Of India, all her pIa;:s are now
directed to developing and strengthen
ing her Indian possessions. With this
aim in view, she is alwavst tightening
her net around the necks o. other pee
Piles. For TWO centuries he policy has
been curse to mankind. Through
blood and tears she is making her pro-
gress through the world. tlf'ter nations,
absorbed in their own affairs, lave let
her go on her way.
The Russian writer believes tinlt The
time OF England's undispnled dominion
over the world has come to an end; that
the center OF commercial and political
power has shifted to the United States
While Germany and Russia are kscDing
both eyes on England, knowing that her
s1ccess in the Transvaal would lead to
other and greater conquests, they do not
propose to interfere at present, though
some future combination OF the great
powers is possible. The kaiser, who di-
reefs the foreign policy of his empire, is
Fcredited just now with being the peace
maker Of Europe. He resists the clam.
ors of thu populace for Intervention
knowing that a ruler who las al COM
manl a great army aul navy can settle
scores with other nations by better
methods than war.
