Ih!G London Spectator, in view of the
tendency of continental publicists to
dwell upon the Isolation" of Great
Britain and taunt it with having neith-
er allies nor friends. consoles itself
with the reflection that another nation,
Germany, has but few friends outside
of Austria. and that its people are
"enraged' il they have not 'alicnated
II majority of mankind." The counts
in the Spectators Isolation" indict.
ment are numerous. 1t says that ever
the Austrians "are fretting under the
p~rovocation of Pan-German oratory"
and that friendliness with Austria is
endangered. No progress has been
made i'll conciliating France. and the
old dislike between German and Slav
has been increased by the struggle
i'll Bohemia and the attitude of the
government toward the Poles in rrus.

to be feared by Great Britain may be

mind that the two nations some day
may be forced into a hostile attitude,

is of opinion that Germany in truth

assertions. There is no more dislike

Britain OF France or any other Euro

estes of the most agreeable kind are
