very nearly to adherence. Patriotic
Germans consider it unreasonable and
1ntolerable that great national is
sues involving the honor Of the whole
German people should compulsorily
be submitted to an international trib-
unal. There is conviction here that
in the present condition of internation-
al politics, there must certainly be
many questions on which no self
respecting nation could consent to
take the verdict of foreigners, but
must be determined to have its own
way. even at the cost of war.
The views held in Berlin are shar-
ed in Vienna and st. Petersburg, to
say nothing of Constantinople and
other capitals. Russia for instance,
it is pointed out, has adjacent front
iers with the race that personifies the
future of the yellow peril, and even if
there were a league of peace in
Europe and America, the Russians
could not venture to disarm or in any
way to undermine their position in
front of the hordes of yellow men who
would rush westward as devastat-
ing torrent the moment the barriers
of European armament were removed
or even weakened.
Austria-Hungary, on the verge of
the Orient, could not afford to sub
nit to arbitration, nor does Turkey
nor Japan dream of participating in
any such Utopian schemes.
In other words, the whole arbitra-
ton idea is regarded in Berlin as a
chimera utterly impracticable and i'm
possible of realization.
In connection with the projected ar
bitration treaty between America,
England and France, there has been
some indiscreet talk of those three
countries becoming the police the
world. and If necessary, enforcing
their will on other countries.
| Germany will not submit to be
'policed'' by any other country, and
would resent to the uttermost any at
tempt of any other combination OF
powers to force their will upon her
! 1t is recalled here that Persia, wher
almost in her infancy, faced and
fought an Overwhelming combination
of seven other countries, and it is de
clared that Germans with their IN
! rivaled military legions, would no
hesitate to follow the example o
their heroic ancestors.
4 1t will thus be seen that the arbi
4 tration talk has engendered anything
but peaceful feelings in Germany ant
it is thought here that If the peac'
4 promoters in America, England ant
4 France at any future time got thu
upper hand in their respective cour
tries, they might endeavor to props
gate disarmament as applying to 9th
er countries by force, SO that tn
peace movement would make for wal

Gently communicated 10 the British
and French governments.
Some surprise has been caused by
the news that Germany now contem~
plates negotiations with the United
States for an arbitration treaty. I'm
view of the recent speech Of the i'm
perial chancellor on this subject in the
reichstag. it is not thought probable
that the object Of the German govern
ment is to obtain a general treaty Of
arbitration" such as Mr. Taft conten-
plated in his original declarations.
There is an inclination 10 believe that
what the German government really
desires is to be included in the negotia-
tons which have been opened between
the United States on the one hand and
Great Britain and France on the other.
Any arbitration treaty which Ger
many. on the basis Of Herr Won Beth
mann Holweg's declarations, could
sign would, it is thought, be strictly

TO be seen whether these conjecures
will be confirmed by the sequel. OF
whether Germany is being guided by
other considerations which might
eventually affect Franco German re-
lations.
