Setting a Good Example.

Sweden and Norway have set
a good example before the world
by settling their difficulties in
quiet way and perfectly satisfact-
DRY to both countries. Norway
wanted to dissolve her connection
with the old combination and
Sweden agrees to the separation.
That's all there is to it. No war
no contention, no particular bit
terness. Norway must now pad
die her own canoe. The Scandl-
navians are cool, level headed
people. They live in the upper
section of a temperate climate.
The Anglo-Japanese Alliance.
Not enough attention has been
paid in this country to the new
treaty concluded between Great
Britain and Japan. Yet it is moth
ing less than a document which
makes an epoch in history.
The old alliance between the
contracting nations called for &C
tive measures on the part of the
ally only when its partner was
attacked by more than one nation.
The new is not merely defensive,
like its predecessor, but calls for
active. assistance in. the event of
any war in which one of the allies
may become involved.
Captain Alfred Mahan has
pointed. out for all the world to
read the Importance of sea power
In history. 1t is not merely nee
essary that a nation shall have
power on the sea in order to
achieve success in warfare-it is
all important.
Yet this new alliance, offensive
and defensive, throws together
the two most efficient navies in
the world: Great Britain's, by
much the largest; and Japan's,
fresh from a series of victories
which are without counterpart in
the worlds annals.
The question of the relative
standing of the navy of the Unit
ed States need not be raised; but
it is certainly inferior to that of
Great Britain in size, and it is
without the actual practice and
experience of the Japanese.
We have no entangling allan
ces with any nation, but it is of
the greatest consequence that our
understanding with Great Britain
and Japan is of the best. By it
the worlds peace is rendered
more secure.
