The threatening attitude OF austria
towards the Balkan allies and the pos
sibility that a general European war
may be the result directs attention to
the present military and naval re-
sources OF the great Powers.
It is scarcely conceivable that any
contingency will arise to plunge all
the great nations Of Europe into a gen
eral war The rulers themselves have
more to lose infinitely more to lose
than to gain from such a calamity,
and voluntarily will never take. to-
gether or singly, steps that would pro.
woke universal outburst of flaming
death in Europe. But there is mo
denying the fact that the present sit
uation is a serious menace to contin.
entail peace and that no one fully ac.
quainted with that situation would be
surprised at the outbreak of hostili-
ties involving seyeral-two at least.
