GERMANY'S MILITARY
ACTIVITY DISCUSSED

motives to the Kaiser and the Govern
ment. Wilhelm II, by his TWENTY-FIVE
years of peaceful reign. a record I'M
matched by any other living Euro
pean monarch, certainly has demon
strated that he is not a war lord. II
is fact that the agitation for in
creased armament came first from the
German people and did not originate
with the Kaiser. 1t drew out of the
Balkan war and the possibility of Sla-
vonic encroachment. The inability of
the Great Powers to prevent or even
check the Balkan struggle opened the
eyes of the German people. Germany
now is arming because of the in
creased possibility of an enlarged Slav
monarchy on the one side, and the re-.
kindled desire for revenge in the
breasts of the French people.
Germany has no designs on France
and the French know it, but they are
taking advantage of the general uncer-
tainty to fan their desire for revenge
for 1870. President Poincare, in his
first speech, mentioned Alsace-Lor-
raine, and almost Immediately Del
casse was sent to Russia.
II think there will be no war, but
Russia is said to have 100000 men
under arms, most of them within
distance of the German and
Austrian borders. AS Bismark said on

That danger is Russia, not France

not to accept reasonable peace terms

to stand out against Austria-Hungary

mania and otherwise taking hand in

"Austria's strength as a German ally
has been largely Slapped by her own
troubles in the Balkans and the Ger

eventuality. Under the usual tension
and abnormal conditions Germany's
warlike preparations are only sane
and logical.

Cross landed the sleep-producing
