WAR CLOUDS HOVER over ALL EUROPE

To-day We find ourselves facing
the. alternative Of choosing between
England or Germany. The extreme
gravity Of the situation is shown By
the fact that the German army Is
200 kilometres Of Paris. Even il Eng
land Joined in the conflict she would
be unable to hold France to check the
advance and once the first blow was
struck we would be at a disadvantage.
We know, too, from the experience of
1870, how little hope5we can place In
the other powers q
While It is stated optimistic tically that
the resignation Of NJ !. Delicasse JUS
Foreign Minister has relieved the
strain the lime nefmost governmental
circles fare far from reassured
Fears are even entertained that
new compli ications may arise ID make
the situation worse

immemorial the canals which abound
in the country have supplied a fertil-

their bottoms and sold TO the peasants
