oerman nation is now pursuing that
 policy with consistency or conscious
 ness. This policy consists in the ab-
 sorption of Austria and Hungary and
 the Balkan states, finishing up with the
 Ottoman empire, so that Germany of the
 future will extend in an unbroken line
 From Berlin to Bagdad. He continues:
 "German policy does not now aim at
 incorporating the Baltic provinces of
 Russia and Russian Poland in the Ger
 man empire, nor dces it aim at bringing
 about closer relation between Ger
 many and Austria Hungary. German policy does not aim at establishing a German protectorate over European and
 Asiatic Turkey, nor at the addition of
 Holland and Belgium to the German federal empire. Nevertheless all these changes will take place in their own time within the next twenty or thirty years, and no one in Germany will be able to arrest the inevitable trend of events Germany will achieve her des- tiny without consciously pursuing these aims.
 Now England, realizing that Germany is bound to expand in these directions and to this extent, and perceiving also the extraordinary efforts that Germany IS making toward world supremacy in commerce and world politics--her need of more land for her growing popula- tion and the necessity of raw materials for her home industries-has, through the short sighted policy of hampering German expansion at every possible point.
 Explains Mistrust of Germany
 This, declares Counselor Martin, is the explanation of the mistrust of Ger many entertained by the most intclli- gent and far-seeing statesmen and poll tieians in England, and this is the req son why Great Britain is building up a coalition of powers from which Ger many is carefully excluded. Since 1903, he aflirms, British foreign policy has been systematically directed toward the great object of forming an anti-German The Anglo French entente was the first link in the chain of ali ances and friendships, and the Anglo Japanese agreement were merely con- tinuation of the same definite policy. The inevitable agreement between Great. Britain and Russia and other eombina- .ions in which England is the inspiring f spirit, will follow in due course and | complete the isolation of Germany. | Again:
 But what is England s aimP Is it to i make war on Germany; or is it merely | .o isolate and to humiliate her by pre- venting her natural expansion and | growthl In either case, Germany will | fight so long as there is mark in the country and man capable of bearing lrms, rather than submit to humiliation | When Germany considers that the sys- .omatie attempt to surround her with | enemies has gone too far, she will break | loose and annihilate these members of the anti-German coalition who are in her immediate vicinity.
 No one knows when this eventful | lay will come, but everyone in Germany feels that it is not far distant. Nor will Germany wait until she is attacked | ,r until the anti-German coalition is in | l better position to dictate terms to her. Germany will strike at the first sign that her interests and her national | honor are menaced, and France will be Inc victim of her wrath
 Unhappy Francel The British navy may destroy the German fleet, may ruin German foreign trade, but nothing on earth can prevent the German army from overrunning France from Paris
