to put his paw into the European dish.
1t has not been tho unbroken custom
of Great Britain to back up the nation
whose victory would mean advantages to
herself. She might help France IN case
the latter engaged Germany, but the
changes. in the light of history, appear
to be that Great Britain would allow
France to do the fighting and trust to
the congress of powers. after. the war
was over, to make fair division of the
spells, a division IN which Great Britain
would get q Eoodly share. Great Britain
let Russia and Turkey fight the war Of
1877, but in the Berlin congress, after the
war, Lord Beaconsfeld, single-handed.
yanqushed the diplomats of Europe. and
it was found when tho congress had
adjourned that tho only thing any ma
ton had got that was really worth hav-
ing was the Island of Cyprus. and this
went to England who had not burnt
a grain of powder.
However, the London dispatches indi-
cat that British sentiment is strongly
against allowing any dctatlOn from The
Kaiser. Great Britain has never taken
insults: indeed. there has never existed
a nation who has submitted to as few.
King Edward does not carry chip on
his shoulder, as does his German nephew.
but the British government, FOR hundreds
of years, has been ready to defend the
national honor with billions of money
and millions of men,
There can be but ono of three results
OF the present strained condition Of af-
fairs-.war, a back-down on the part Of
Germany or an international congress
for the purpose Of settling the Moroccan
question. The latter Is. perhaps the
most likely solution of the trouble.
With Great Britain and France at war
with Germany. the world would see war
on the most tremendous scale ever wit
messed. Each OF the three is distinctly
a warlike nation. and the temper of it's
people Is to fight while the power Of
resistance remains. It is the general
opinion Of military men that Germany
has the best drilled and best equipped
army In the world. The material COM
posing the French army is the admirn-
ton Of soldiers everywhere, but there
is n distinct lack of good officers Of all
high ranks, which, It Is believed. would
be found to affect the fortunes of war
most seriously.

doubt very much whether there is any
nation in Europe which could defeat her
on land. and believe the British navy
could destroy the combined naYies of
Europe. The result of q war between
Germany, France and England, like the
one which is threatened. would be bound
to result in the overthrow of Germany,
unless there should be other combina-
stions which we cannot foresec. But 1t
is hard to conceive of any combination
which would mean the defeat Of Great
Britain. She does not quit fighting. Her
land forces might DO overcome, but there
is no nation which could invade her,
for the British navy would soon DOM
mate the sea. And with this navy, she
would prolonE the war, devastating 1.-the
