istrative and military walks OF lie We're
induced to join the movement on the
face Of II II is one Of purely benevolent
and charitable aims. 1t styles itself, in
deed. the Slavonic Benevolent Society,
and while most Of the clauses OF the char-
ter lay stress on the charitable nature or
its objects the pith is 10 be found III the
opening paragraph, which declares that
,he society has for it's aim 1.-THE promo
ton and development Of Slavonic solldar-
ity" and OF the "union of foreign Slavs
with those OF Russia"
What this means will be understood
when ii is pointed out that the Bone
mians are Savs, that many millions CT
Emperor Francis Joseph's lieges In Hun
gary, i'm Austria. as well as In Herze-
govina and Bosnia, are Slavs; that the
Poles of Germany, Austria and Russia
are Savs. and that the Servlans. the
Bulgarians, the Macedonians and the
Montenegrins also belong to this particu-
lar race.
The real aim and object Of the Pan
Slav movement is to effect the political
absorption by Russia Of all the different
Slav nations and races subject TO foreign
rule. Alexander III endeavored unsuccess-
fully to check its growth, but was not
even able to prevent the society from
raising and equipping in 1876 large body
of Russian volunteers, under retired
Russian general, to start the Servlan in
slrrcction against Turkish suzerainty
and the Bulgarian rebellion against Otto
man rule which developed into the war
of Russia and Turkey of 1871. Alexander
H. who was one OF the most intimate
friends of Aksakoff, favored the Pan-SlaV
movement, encouraged its propaganda
throughout the Balkan states, and even
in the dominions Of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. some of its most active agents belns
consuls, secretaries OF embassy, and even
fulI-fedged ENJOYS in the Russian service.
Alexander even went so far as to toler-
ate the Pan-Slav conspiracy in Bulgaria,
which resulted in the kidnapping and alb
duction OF Prince Alexander the ruler
OF that country. who had incurred TIE
wrath of the committee because he de-
clined 10 govern his kingdom according
to Pan-Slav ideas.
The Pan-Slav movement, possessed Of
enormous resources. has made and UNI
made ministers OF the crown at st. Peters
burg. and. judging from the apprehen-
sions voiced I'm the Berlin Reichstag ny
the German Chancellor last week and
from the resolutions passed by the great
Pan-Slav meeting At -. Petersburg on
Sunday last. the society seems bent upon
SCATTERING all the efforts Of the great
powers To maintain peace and to launch
Russia and the Balkan allies into a war
against Austria and Germany into which
France assurodly would be drawn. and
probably also England. Italy. and finally
the smaller powers. such as Rumania.
Belgium. Holland and Switzerland.

Kaiser, Dismayed by Pan
Slav Movement, Through
German Chancellor,
Asks for Huge
War F und.

Russia occupies to-day the strongest
nositlon in all her history. Eight years
ago what with the confusion of her mill
tarv and naval disasters in the Far ORR
on, and of her Terrorist revolution at
home. her fortunes were at the lowest
ebb. and by many il was alleged that the
death knell Of the Muscovite Empire had
been struck. Yet at present she is the
dominating power in Europe. as we'll as
In Asia.
II any doubt remained upon the SUBJ
ject it must have been set at rest during
the last week by the remarkable speech
Of the German Chancellor in the Reichs-
tag at Berlin. Ii was speech introduc-
Ing the bill for the enactment of the spe-
cial tax of s2S0,OOO0O0 on capital in the
Fatherland. This tax was for military
purposes, over and above the ordinary
annual war taxes. which this year show
9 large increase over the preceding twelve
months. No such appeal has been made
to Teuton patriotism since the Inaugural
ton of the struggle for liberation from
Napoleonic thraidom just a hundred
years ago. and If the German Chancellor
called upon the people for such heavy
sacrifice il is because. as he remarked
the safety as well as the very existence
of the nation is menaced by the new
conditions in Russia. No more striking
or eloquent tribute to the resuscitation
OF the so-called Colossus of the North
could be found than this enormous war
tax demanded of the German people in
plain, unvarnished and withal extremely
temperate language by Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H ollweg last week.

KAISER SCENTS PERIL.

No small credit must be accorded to the
Kaiser for his watchfulness in appre-
ciatlng the danger threatening Germany
through the changed conditions in Russia
and in the southwest of Europe and for his
holiness and vigor in taking immediate
steps 10 meet il. True, there has been some
discussion in the press on both sides Of
the Atlantic as TO the growth of the iniiu-
ence of the Car Of the concert of Europe
through the victories of the Balkan allies.
But no one, not even in Germany, real
lied that tho matter called for immediate
action of a defensive nature by hat cnl-
pire until the Kaiser after carefully con-
sidering the situation with his generals.
with his principal Statesmen and with his
fellow sovereigns of the German Confed-
Grafton. directed his Chancellor TO make
an appeal last week in the Reichstag for
the huge sum needed to place Teuton
defences on such footing as TO safe
guard the fatherland against the menace
from Russia. Under other circumstances
the appeal might nave been resisted. the
more so as William is rightly credited
with having on several occasions INDUCED
in sabre rafting and way scares for no
other purpose than 10 obtain from Parlia-
ment the money needed for additions TO
the army and navy But in this instance
there is very little resistance. save on the
part of the Socialists. He has succeeded
in convincing all his fellow sovercigns in
Germany and their ministers that the
danger IS real. and not imaginary; and it
is owing TO this that the people are so
readily yielding to the heavy sacrifices
demanded of them.
OF course. there are some Of his coun-
trymen who are disposed ia blame Will

PhN-SLAV AGITATION.

Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg IN
his speech last week gave full credit to
car Nicholas and to the government at
St Petersburg for the sincerity OF their
professions Of friendship toward Ger
many. But he declared that what he
feared was the overwhelming force OF
popular sentiment in Russia fostered
against Germany by Pan-Slav agitation
In this connection il may be recalled tnat
il was this same irresistible strength OF
popular sentiment, excited by the leaders
of the Pan-Slav movement, which COM
pclled Gar Alexander II TO embark upon
war ~ith Turkey in 1S76-71 for which
ne was not prepared. and which he as
we'll as his ministers, was most anxious
to avoid on military, political and eco
nomic grounds.
There has been great revival OF Fan
SIavism of late. Indeed. on Sunday last
an extraordinary popular demonstration
Of the Pan Slavisis took place at ST
Petersburg. at which thousands OF repre-
sentative men Of all cla.sos-generals' OIL

RUsslA's PERIOD OF PEACE.

Yet Russia has engaged in no war since
her disastrous conflict with Japan IN
Manchuria AS recently as four years
ago she was compelled. by direct threat
of war from Berlin and Vienna. to with
draw the support which she had until
then accorded to Servia in the opposition
offered by the latter 10 Austria's anneXa-
ton of the Ottoman provinces of Herze-
goyina and Bosnia, which have large
Serb population. At that time the centre
OF power was at Berlin. Now II is at ST.
Petersburg. and this extraordinary change
has been wrought wholly by statecraft
and diplomacy. In fact, Russia has ac-
complished it without having any occa-
sion to draw her sword.
As intimated by Chancellor Won Beth
MANN Hollwcg. the ottoman Empire
whose close friendship with Germany
amounted almost to an alliance, has vir-
tually disappeared from the face Of Eu-
rope and its place has been taken by
coalition OF Christian powers all bound
10 Russia by ties Of creed ana 10 a great
extent of race-powers whose union with
Russia Is of the closest character. II is
no secret that in their war with Turkey
the Balkan allies have received the potent
backing of the Gar; that If Servia ana
Montenegro. both of them proverblally
have been able to race the
enormous expenditure necessitated by
their military operations. which have been
in progress now for many months, 1t has
been due to financial assistance from St
Petersburg.
