WILL ENGLAND AND GERMANY
FIGHT9

All obseryant travellers returning
from trips abroad come back full OF
the impression that great war is i'm
pending between England and Ger
many, in which the control of the seas
will be at stake, as we'll as the future
of some of the British colonies that
now encircle the globe. England de-
feated would inevitably suffer the loss
of a large part of it's territorial pos
sessions, probably all of South Africa.
on which Germany is supposed to have
long had a covetous eye, the suze-
rainty of Egypt, and in addition be
mulcted in a cash indemnity that
would make the billion dollars paid
by France seem like bagatelle. Ger
many if defeated would have its as
pirations thrown back a quarter of a
century. 1t has some colonial possess
sions in Africa that it might lose, but
its probable damage would be infini-
tesimal alongside of that Great Brit
ain would suffer if it met with a
crushing defeat.
One great naval battle in the Chan
mel or the North Sea. 1t is freely pre-
dicted, will open and practically de-
eide this next of the wafid's greatest
wars. If the British fleet were ami
hilated the way to London and the
other rich prize cities of England
would be open to the millions of arm
ed men at Williams command If the
German fleet, on the other hand, is de-
stroyed, Germany is comparatively
perb defences. England's danger is
accordingly twice as great as that of
Germany. All that Germany has to
fear is that in the event of the loss
of it's fleet England might perfect a
combination with France and Russia
for a simultaneous attack by land
And even the three together would
probably find the vast German land
fighting machines no easy OBJ to
tackle.
Lord Charles Beresford, in recent
speech in this country, made an indi-
rect plea for American intervention in
the event of such war, in fact for
coalition of English and American
forces to preserve the peace of the
world against the ambitions of the
German emperor. While England, in
such a struggle, would be assured of
the outspoken sympathy of the vast
mass of Americans, it is hardly prob
able that this country would consent
to be drawn actively into the war, un-
less it were plainly apparent that its
own interests were vitality threatened
Such condition is merely conjec-
tural. The idea that Germany, if VIC
torious over England, would imme-
diately assume the position of world
dictator, is hardly plausible. She
has enough foes surrounding her in
Europe to make her hesitate about
carrying her supremacy to such an

collected in costs and penalties last year S32oD5
This includes $4,000 the amount collected from all
the criminal prosecutions in the state. which. Of
course, includes all tie efforts Of al the ponce
forces sheriffs deputy sheriffs, cOnsables, citi-
zens and citizens associations, with the aid or
all the district attorneys, police magistrates and
courts Of Special Sessions. to enforce the law by
criminal prosecutions Deduct this $4,000 from
the whole. and We have s2t55o3 % as the amount
collected by the Excise Department in civil actions
which means the revocation Of certificates and the
forfeiture of bonds. The Commissioner says he IS
limited as to men and money to carry on this WORK.
and he being the only person II the state VINO can
bring an action the forfeiture Of the bond 1t Will
be seen that if this power is extended much more
could be done. The present method does not stop
violations Of the law, every one knows 10
