Europe Counting Danger.

The New York Sun publishes the fol-
lowing extract from the editorial col
umns of a leading Berlin paper, as
showing how Europe has discovered a
new phase of the American invasion to
get frightened at:
"The most prominent European
statesmen, diplomats and politicians
marry American girls, who thereby OBJ
tain unbounded influence over their
public acts. This tends to democratize
Europe and produce other dangerous
consequences. This is a serious phase
of the American peril. American
wives are really political agents of the
western republic away from America
This pernicious activity of the Ameri-
can woman in European politics is in
deed enough to frighten the Old
World. There is no resisting her, and
not a statesman or soldier in all of
Europe but loves danger when it comes
in her form. She is an irresistible
missionary, and whether or not her
foreign husband is aware of it he is
mere or less AmericaniZed by her in
fluence No European diplomat who is
blessed with an American wife can
think i'll of the country or wish i'll to
the country which produced her. The
American woman has done wonders in
Europe, particularly in England but We
agree with the German editor that she
should be kept at home. She is too
precious product to be exported in
