WITH THE FUNNY MEN.
The Rerised Story.
Indianapolis Press

Indianapolis Press.
Once on a time two gallant knights met
in the middle of the road and fell into a
dispute as to the composition Of a GER
tain shield which they saw standing
there on edge. One protested that it was
silver, and the other as stoutly maintain
ed it was gold.
Words led to action, and they fought
until both We're exhausted.
At this point venerable sage arrived.
No, he did not prove to them that the
shield was gold on one side and silver
on the other; he gave each a dose Of
bromide and showed them there was no
shield at all, whereat they marveied
greatly.

ALL EUROPE AGAINST ENGLAND.

In sermon during the lend of the
century services" at Westminster alb
bey, Archdeacon Farrar took a very
gloomy view of England's future. He
thought it by no means improbable that
early in the new century England would
have all the European powers against it.
AT present, at least, such is not the
case and by what changes he expects
that condition to be brought about is not
quite clear. The three first class powers
of Europe are England Germany and
Russia. England and Germany are both in
danger of Russian aggression, supported,
as it is, by French chauvinism This
community of interest has produced an
alliance between England and Germany
or if not an alliance, at least an under
standing which serves the same purpose.
That means not only Germany, but the
entire triple alliance, composed of Ger
many Austro-H Hungary and Italy. Some
of the smaller nations, such as R9u-
mania, Holland and Sweden naturally
fall in with the triple alliance, which,
thus, represents some 150,0 900 people.
As long as England has all these nations
on her side she is fairly safe, but of
course the question is whether this will
last.
1t is not likely that Germany and Rus
sia will ever make up. They have too
,,,ar,, .co,d;c+iro ip+araS+c in +ba Qotlra,
peninsula and in Asia Minor. If France
should be able to forget her hatred
OF Germany sufficiently to go into that
proposed tariff union with the other ma
tions of the western part of the CONT
nent of Europe, this federation might feel
strong enough to show hostility against
England. But both England and Russia
would then be threatened by the aggres-
sion of this new power, and from having
been implacAe enemies, their COM
mon danger would force them into an al
lance with each other.
At present Germany could not allow
even Russia and France to attack Eng
land, unless she felt sure that the result
would not imperil her own position. If
Russia and France were to win in such
war, their power would be increased
to such an extent that they would prob
ably want to carve up Germany and the
entire triple alliance next If England
were to win, it would mean similar
unwelcome increase in her power. .ut,
for Russia and France to attack England
with the expectation of having to fight
Germany and her allies also, would be
downright suicide. 1t is this balance of
power that guarantees the peace of Eu-
rope, and present indications are that
this balance of power will continue until
Russia feels strong enough to disturb it,
which is not likely to be for some time
to come. and then England will have
Germany On her side. OF course, in in
ternational politics, the unexpected is
always possible, STILL there does nct
seem to be any particular reason why the
venerable archdeacon should feel gloomy.
