A general European war ought by
all means to be avoided. Great Brit
ain will certainly use her utmost ef-
fort to maintain the peace. Whether
there will be such a war depends
very greatly upon William of Ger
many, and what is his actual inten-
ton. He is accused of planning a
break with the other powers. and es-
pecially of an intention to find a pre-
text for trial of strength with
Great Britain. The British press has
little confidence in his recent profes.

of the writers sound a warning that
this is but a cloak under which he
is preparing for war.-Mobile Regis
