fying demands put forward by Germany. AT
the last minute however, the leading inanciers
OF Paris, acting not only on their own initiative
but also at the instigation of their associates
and partners in other capitals in Europe and
in New York intervened, declared that there
should be no war and that rather than have
conflict Germany should be placated-
They impressed their views upon the Minister
of Finance, Senator Rouvier whom they may be
said TO have dominated throughout his long
tenure of office. and were able to bring so much
pressure to bear upon his colleagues that Del
casse was tettisoncd and the demands of the
Kaiser conceded. The comic papers at the time
represented France offering to Emperor Will
lam the head of Delcasse on charger to ap-
pcase his wrath, and within twenty-four hours
after his learning Of the dismissal of this French
statesman he prop1oted his Chancellor from the
rank of count to that Of prince. But while this
surrender of France was proclaimed vic
tory of Teuton diplomacy, the entire response
bility OF the affair belonged to ia haute A.
nance which, by bringing irresistible pressure
to bear upon the French government, had
forced It TO yield to the pretensions of the En-
peror.
When all this is taken into consideration 1t
would seem that If these not merely captains
but rulers of finance were to decide that their
interests would be best served by peace there

could accrue to them from conflict OF this
kind. for it would involve not only tremendous
economic disturbance and ruin. but likewise the

MONEY KINGS THE ARBITERs.

Count Witte. the Russian penipotentiary at
Portsmouth, was hailed at first on his return
from the United States a statesman Of won
derful cleverness, who by dint of diplomacy had
saved his country, though defeated, from the
payment Of any war indemnity and from the
loss Of any territory. Yet to-day he is re-
garded both at home and abroad, having
injured rather than benefited his country by the
terms which he secured at Portsmouth. Not
only Russia, but likewise the world at large,
has learned that the japanese had at the time
OF the Peace Congress the New Hampshire
coast come TO the very end Of their financial
tether and were in consequence thereof quite in
capable OF continuing the struggle; whereas
Russia, which by that time had succeeded In
pouring almost million soldiers into Man
churia, was in position to continue the strug-
gle with all the odds in her favor, and TO re-
all the laurels OF victory that she had lost
up TO that time. To-day. indeed. there is hardly
a Russian who does not deplore the peace of
Portsmouth as an injury rather than an ad-
vantage 10 Russian interests.

are going to war with each other, and X So
when 1t is e question which furnishes fertile
and absorbing topic Of discussion. This being
the case. the following points in connection
Herewith may be deemed worthy Of ccnsiders-
tion:
Accepting for a moment the hypothesis, so
general in the dominions of the Kaiser. and in
those of his uncle. King Edward, that war is
imminent the very natural inquiry occurs ass to
whether there are really means of averting
the conflict. It is perfectly true that In both
countries Young people are being educated to
the belief that a conflict Of this kind Is bound
t. take place sooner or later-the sooner the
better In all ranks of the armies and naVies
of the two empires the same ideas prevail, and
The training and instruction which men and
officers receive and the preparations which
they are called on to make are in view of the
promised struggle German and British news

They seem to devote all their energies to the
task of awakening dormant patriotism. an OBJ
iect which would he wholly commendable we're

spells not peace, but war.

in war is strikingly shown in the recent conflict
between Russia and Japan. The latter had de-
feated Russia in every battle. both on land and
