WATCHING THE
PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST

Europe has watched the progress
of our presidential campaign with
an interest SO profound as to contrast
markedly with the languor that has
so far characterized the contest here.
From London to st. Petersburg there
prevails an impression that the for
eigner In the Old World UNDER
stands some aspects OF the contest
far better than do the Americans
themselves. "The issue OF the cleo
tion is of the first consequence to
Europe" as the Paris Gaulois be-
lieves, "for the result must react
upon international relations from
Morocco TO the far east" Readers
of European newspapers are there
fore assured that the balance OF
naval power for the next four years
the destinies OF the German element
in South America and the contest
that will soon ensue for possession
Of the throne OF China. must be af-
fected-"even materially Affected"
ag the Paris Figar remarkably the
election. Americans, as some Euro
pean dail.es are noting, care little
for world politics. They will not
take foreign affairs into account
when they cast their votes next No
yember. But Europe must do so.
"The power of a President Of the
United States over the diplomatic re-
lations of his country with foreign
countries" says the Temps. "is abso-
Lutte. The checks upon him in this
field are only thearetlcal." He can
make no treaty OF alliance on paper
without the senate, but he can brlng
about an alliance In fact because h.
disposes AT his will the army and
navy OF the republic. There are
seven great powers as the Berlin
Kreuz Zeitung Gays. "and the cleo
tion will decide who shall cast the
vote OF one Of the greatest Of them in
the world conferences of the imme-
date future. Current Literature

The name had long been a familiar
