Asked whether he thought there was
any probability of a war between Eng
land and Germany, Seymour replied
the German emperor was the only
person wIlo-ceulas answer that question
satisfactorily. Personally, he hoped
not, as war today meant great loss OF
life and expense which must be met
by taxation, and in his opinion it was
wrong even to discuss publicly the
likelihood of a war between the two
at present friendly nations.

"DO you think Germany is pTepar-
ing for war?" he was asked.
Germany is increasing its navy,
said Seymour, but | cannot tell you
the reason because | do not know it.
The millennium is not yet in sight, and
nations have to be prepared for war.
