ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY.
We have frequently expressed tho
opinion that a nation devoted TO the
arts and ways Of peace IL more likely
to be SPARED the horrors Of war than
ono which devotcs It's energies 10 war
like preparations.
The statement ~ Andrew Carnegie
that conflict IS threatened between
England and Germany serves 20 ems
phasizo this view. AZ well as to call at
teution 10 one Of the most extraordin-
airy psychological phenomena Of re-
cent times
Two Christian nations, it is said, are

Simply that they dlstrust and fear each
other. Tho mere ideas OF jealousy and
rivalry have taken possession Of the
minds Of the people of these great coun-
tries. and all seem 20 be- afflicted with
the Authorization that the other nation
Is seeking an opportunity TO destroy
their own.

tive OF German alliance. All Europe
Is awake 10 the presence OF a great
impending danger
While IL seems unconceivable that
two Of the greatest nations OF the
world should go to war for nothing. yet
such things have occurred and may
happen again. It will be seen that the
mere preparations each Is making for
war Is mentioned by Mr.. Carnegie as a
factor that tends to bring It about.
Some day" he remarks "a few ma
rines ashore from ships OF the rival
navies will have an encounter. Per-
haps under the influence Of liquor
they win exchange blows. one Is
wounded, blood is shed. and the pent
up passions Of the people OF the two
countries will sweep everything before
them"
MT Carnegie's suggestion that the
other civilized nations. especially our
own. should now intervene between
the two disturbing powers, is certainly
a good one II the mental disturbance Of
these two countries has actually gone
80 far that conflict Is Imminent
OF late. much has been made Of the
claim that preparedness for war Is
the surest guarantee Of peace. But
sere We have aG actual demonstration
Of the fact that readiness for war us
ually serves 70 bring on a contest.
