European Situation.

A recent London dispatch says
The threatening attitude of Austria
towards the Balkan allies and the
possibility that general European
war may be the result directs atten.
tion to the present military and naval
resources OF the great powers.
It is scarcely conceivable that any
contingency will arise to plunge all
the great nations Of Europe into q
general war. The rulers themselves
have more to lose-in6nitely more to
lose-than to gain from such calam-
ity. and voluntarily will never take,
together or singly, steps that would
provoke universal outburst OF fam
ing death in Europe, But there is
no denying the fact that the present
situation is serious menace to con-
tinental peace aud that no one fully
acquainted with that situation would
be surprised at the outbreak Of hos
tilities involving several-two at
least, and perhaps three-of the six
powers usually classified as great"

Leader Underwood can see no
virtue IN a protective tariff. "A
government can no more create
prosperity among its people by
increasing taxation than an indi-
vidual can lift himself by his boot
straps" he says. "The first vio-
lates the laws Of political economy

ATTACKS ON TARIFF BILL
Gravity Of the california-Japan-
ese Situation.

cause OF his, insistence in calling on
the President for the purpose Of
pointing out wherein protection
should be gi zen to wool, sugar, etc.
Senator Marcus Smith Of Arizona,
has also been hitting the White
House trail, and in explanation
declares: II am not protection
ist, but ] am certainly opposed to
free wool and free sugar." On the
other hand Senator Ashurst, also
Democrat and Arizonan, declares
that elf the Democratic party, af.
ter the promises it has made to the
people to reduce the tariff, sho uld
then begin to equivocate, it would
be the end-and ought to be the
end-of the Democratic party"
In speaking of the results of an
influx of 1000 Chinese a month
into British Columbia, Mr.. John
ston of the state Of Washington
has told his colleagues in Congress
that "until now a protective-tariff
wall has kept our people Of the
great Pacific Northwest from too
close competition with these orien-
tai offscourings." But he sees an
end to this. 1.-THE Underwood
free trade bill" says Mr.. Johnston,
clears down the tariff wall. From
now on we of the west must CON-
pete with the Chinese and the
Japanese. Not alone in the lum-
Der and shingle industry-our mills
versus the mills of British Colum-
bia-but this country will receive
its shoes from Japan, made by
women who earn g cents a day,
and chinaware and notions will
come in; yes, cotton goods, prints,
and all other articles that we have
taught these people to make and
sold them the machinery With
which to work."
Among the speeches against the
Underwood bill which attracted
most favorable attention of the
protectionists we're those of Rep
resentative French Of Idaho, and
LaFollette and Falconer of Wash
ington. The gentlemen showed
the evils of the measure from their
standpoint.
With Secretary Bryan travelling
across the country in an endeavor
to regulate the action of the Cali
fornia legislature, and with speech
muff1ed in Congress, and the press
pedaling very lightly, it is plain
that the administration is greatly
concerned regarding the Japanese
situation. In some quarters there
is the greatest pessimism, and it is
common talk in the national capi-
tai that the Japs are trying to
"pick row." The developments
all indicate that the japanese.
realizing our unpreparedness, are
pressing their demands at an ad-
vantageous moment.
The foreign ambassadors who
have learned to believe that no
social function is complete without
a big dinner and lots Of wine, are
now taking their cocktails before
repairing to Secretary of State
Bryan's home because there the
wine cup is tabooed and grape
juice unfermented reigns supreme.
Mr. Bryan gave the social swells,
or "swills" at Washington an aw.
full shock when he made known
his determination, but they ap-
plauded nevertheless, and one
hears much about the sl,ravery" oi
