MUCH EMIGRATION PROBABLE
Conditions in Europe are such thar
there will probably be great emigration
next spring from several countries of
that continent The increased cost 0t
living is a burden in America, but not
in any such degree as it is in Europe,

That quiet but momentous game OF

stage where France, apparently conf

Tense unless he is quite sure he has the
advantage. France, acting without
support, would hardly have been SO
positive in her play, for on land her
whole border is exposed to attack by
superior force. In a pinch it is pre-
suIned that Germany could signal the
advance of Austria to her aid, and no
two armies of Europe could safely con-
front that phalanx. A hasty transla-
ton of Frances last answer into a
challenge 10 war would have a sure
dependence upon the backing of Great
Britain and Russia. a war would mean
the absolute destruction Of the German
navy. It would compel the posting of
very respectable rear guard to hold
off a Russian excursion into German
territory, and this would thin the line
with which Germany would advance
to the French border. The only sure
result of such an acceptance would
be some deep red stains upon the map
of Europe.-Detroit News.
