RArrLEsHIPs OR BALLooNss

The opponents Of the battleship are beginning
to evince uneasiness. Their theory has been
that any large vessel could so easily be ruined
by torpedoes that it was folly to build one.
Not being able to find in the battle of the Sea
Of Japan adequate confirmation Of that opin-
ion. they show signs of abandoning it and hunt
ing for another objection. Says 1.-THE Evening
POST:
So far as the reports thus far received go. it
may be accepted % that the battle was won In
the first few minutes by the ferocity Of the Jap
anese attack and the accuracy Of their fire; Cd
that perhaps by reason of the high sea prevail
ing, the Of the torpedo boat was of a Sec
ondary nature, to give the coup de grace TO
silenced vessels or to prevent Russian SHIPS
from breaking through the encircling japanese;
() that the prestige of the bateship has suffered
enormously by reason Of the slaughter on its
decks and the easy destruction of the upper
works of the floating fortress"
In other words, the big guns Of a battleship
or an armored cruiser are likely to do altogether
too much harm TO the enemy's upper works
Well. if the victory is to be won with heavy
ordnance, how would you mount it? On de-
stroyers2 Why not balloons?
Perhaps it would be well to wait until more
is known about the great engagement that
startled the world few days ago before pass
ing judgment, but it already looks as If the
virtues of the battleship had received at Togo's
hands demonstration such was hardly ex-
pected year ago.

NORWAY AND THE POWERS.

Norway's secession is said to be somewhat
coldly received by the European powers, and
doubt is expressed whether it will be generally
recognized as legitimate fact It Is not sur
prising that other nations do not regard the
event with enthusiasm. even with pleas
ure. On general principles they all wish to
preserve the existing status, In Scandinavia
as well as in the Balkan, In the Egean and
elsewhere, preferring to bear the slls they
have rather than fly to others that they know
not Of Moreover, no poWer-save one-can
perceive any possible gain for itself In this
change. while several can discern a possibil-
ity of disadvantage. 1t is one thing, however,
to regard an event with disfayor, but an en-
tlrely different thing to oppose it actively, and
it is much to be doubted whether any power
will adopt the latter course.
The logical initiative obviously lies with
Sweden. If she recognizes Norway as indie
pendent, it is difficult to on what ground
other nations can refuse to do so. If she does
not actively oppose the separation and seek to
undo it. there will be no apparent ground for
any other powers Intervention. Much antago-
nism which might have been directed against
the change is averted by Norway's decision
to choose another king instead of proclaiming
a republic and to choose king, moreover,
from among the members of a reigning house.
BY one power, Russia, the change is doubt
less regarded WITH pleasure, as weakening
her traditional foe Sweden, and as tending
to facilitate her long intended expansion to
the Atlantic coast. France. Russia's ally,
is scarcely likely to oppose something which
pleases Russia. Neither we see any rea-
son for Germany's opposition On the contrary,
her desire to dominate the North Sea would
seem TO gain rather than to lose something
toward realization by such division of the
Scandinavian powers. Austria the other
hand. will probably deplore n step which may
encourage separatist influences in Hungary
and Bohemia. AS for Great Britain, because
of coming matrimonial alliance her sympa-
thies incline toward Sweden and she may also
regard with dsfavor anything which might
promote Russian aggressions toward the At
lantic; while, on the other hand, the choice Of
a Danish prince as King of Norway-which
is not improbable in event of King Oscars re-
fusal TO let one of his sons serve-would trans
fer large share of dynastic sympathy to that
side Of the controversy
On the whole, then the interests of the
powers in the matter are at once so varied
and so indirect that they are not likely to
furnish adequate ground for Intervention
The probability seems to be that the step which
has been taken by Norway with so much dig
nifty and courtesy, and at the same time with
