Edward the Peacemaker.

A man Of extrsordinory ability Is
the present King Of England, q man
whose great capacity was not sus-
pected until after an age when the
world has usually formed and closed
It's judgment of men. Had the King
died when he was stricken down with
appendicitis on the eve OF his corona
tion, be would have occupied a much
smaller place In history than he does
now, asserts NJ. A. Low, in the
ForuA. Up to that time, as the
world was able to know him, he was
a man who loved lie and got out OF
LIE all there was In 1t. He had al
ways been noted for his tact; a mark
ed trait was his desire to mskeevery-
one around, him happy and to play
the peacemaker whenever 1t was pos.
stble, but no opportunity had been
given him to give proof of states
manship OF the fret order.
In few short years he has shown
himself to be the first statesman OF
Europe.
Summed up, the result OF King Ed
wards diplomacy OF the lest few
years Is seen to be as follows; En-
gland and France have settled all
the questions that formerly kept
them apart, and are now working in
perfect concord to keep the peace Of
Europe; England and Russia reach
ed working arrangement, and a
clash between the two Powers, either
In the far or near east, is no longer
feared; between England and Italy
and England and Austria there ID
complete sympathy; an English
Princess sits on the throne of Spain
which is OF Importance politically be-
cause OF the interests England has ir
the Mediterranean; an English Prin
cess sits on the throne OF Norway
which is OF lesser importance, but
not without political values. Eng
land, therefore, can command the
support Of every European Power
with she sole exception OF Germany
whose Emperor RACES with impotent
fury as he watches the success OF hit
uncle's diplomacy.

he will forgive me ior publishing the
following extracts:
"Your hero's father was the ION OF
