Union City is to have new opera
house. There is no doubt about
that question. Several suggestions
are under advisement. One is to
build over the Mayors, Walker and
Beckham buildings on Mary street,
to which some of the property own
ers have agreed. Another is to
build over the post office or on the
side of the street Some
very liberal subscriptions have been
and it is certain we cannot
do without an opera house.

GERMANY. HOLLAND AND DENMARK

There is q marked revival of talk in various
quarters about possible absorption of Holland
and Denmark into the German Empire. 1t is
heard in the two small countries named, while
in Germany it has swelled to the proportions of
a propaga nda. Men are declaring such action
TO be essential TO the welfare and security OF
the empire and are rapidly pushing the matter
TO the fore live political issue. For this
there are various reasons. One is the general
principle now strongly operative, of the alb
sorption of small States by large ones. Thus
Russia has recently absorbed Finland in order
TO gain fuller command of the Gulf of Bothnia
and the Baltic Sea and to secure a better van
tage ground for her long planned aggressions
upon Scandinavia. Thus the Orange State and
Madagascar have been obliterated from the po-
litical map OF Africa. and Siam is fading from
that of Asia Another is the desire Of Ger
MANY 10 have an unbroken coast line from
Memel TO Emden and to control at least one
shore of The Sound and Cattegat; just as the
United States for like reason insisted upon
acquiring Florida and getting control of the
Florida Straits: also. there is the natural de-
sire of Germany TO possess the Rhine from
source to mouth, and to be able to navigate it
TO the sea without passing through foreign
country; precisely as hundred years ago we
strove successfully for such possession Of the
Mississippi.
Germany realizes. too, that an Independent
Holland on her northwest border is a source of
weakness TO her in her line of imperial defence
1t forms gateway through which a foe might
invade the empire, and compels her TO main
tain a guard along that land frontier as well
as Oh the French and Russian boundaries.
Conversely for the same reason, France and
Russia would not be pleased TO see Germany
extend her coast line TO the Scheldt. Neither
would England be pleased TO have Germany
directly confronting her across the narrow seas
facing the English shore from the Humber TO
the Thames 1t is also to be noted that the
with Denmark, carrying with them the posi-
bility of German naval stations at the north
and northwest OF Great Britain. It may well be
believed that the establishment of a British
naval station on the east coast of Scotland is
by no means dssociated from this matter, but
that ii is meant as an advance guard against
extension Of German frontage on the North
Sea, and q post OF observation, If not some
thing more. along the route from Hamburg to

TOO NAVY GO RACK.

Italy is still sending oversee swarms of her
people who risk the hazards of new fortunes in

Mediterranean bring hosts of steerage passen-
gers to Ellis Island. The sturdy sons of Italy
toll industriOusly in their new homes, and al
most every one of them saves money in the
New World. But too many of them go back to
their old homes TO live on their savings. Too
many persist In remaining Italian in heart and
