OF other innumerable relationships
among the royal or imperial houses
of the continent there could be cited
many most interesting stories. There
is the connection, for instance of the
Car of Bulgaria, Ferdinand, through
his father, the Duke of SAKE Coburg
and Gotha, with England, and with
France through his mother, the brave
and astute Princess Clementine, of
the Bourbon orleans family. woman
who for many years fought for the
fortunes of her son till she saw him
raised to the sovereignty which he
now enjoys and for which he defied
the power of Europe.
Then there is the rapprochement of
the houses of Hanover and Saxe-Co-
burg and the house of Savoy, the last
the oldest reigning house in Europe.
and through this with Italy.
And Italy. indeed. while she stands
hesitating in this great crisis, is to be
pitied IT, as says a renowned au-
thority, she fights with her allies she
will certainly be invaded by their
opponents; if she holds back she will
be punished by the victor for nom
Intervention. Yet she has no quarrel
of her own in this matter, and her
own interests and inclination would
dispose her to be neutral. Italian
public opinion naturally blames Aus

IN THE EVENT OF NORTH SEA BATTLE

ond place. England now has eight
cen dreadnoughts in service and four
teen building. Germany has thirteen
in service and six building, and the
United States has seven built, five
building and three authorized.
There is so little difference in
strength between the navies of the
three nations, the experts are saying,
that it is by no means unlikely that a
destructive fight between Germany
and England would raise the United
States into first place. That this fight
will come is generally admitted, for
Englands policy of attempting to blot
out Germany's commerce entirely
during the present war must neces-
sarily result in at least one great
naval engagement in which the full
est strength of the two nations will
be involved.
The United States never has tried
to establish itself as the greatest
naval power. For years Congress has
sought to build and maintain an
Adequate navy. But the United
States, whether it wills or not, in the
opinion of naval experts, now seems
likely to be advanced to the first
rank on the seas.

show how far the German Emperor
went to preserve the peace of Europe.
Further, to assume that the En-
peror declared war in the present in
stance against the will of Germany is
an absurd assumption.
Germany is a military nation. Its
people are soldiers, and the problems
Of Germany from a military stand
point are known to every German
citizen. When Russia modified her
army 1t meant war, and eve-y Ger
man knew and expected It, Had Ger
many been under republican form
of government war would have been
declared just as quickly, and Just as
certainly, and just as surely.
The Emperor is a part of the Ger
man national life but by no means
an all-important part The role he
plays in the commercial. artistic and
military life of Germany is in direct
proportion to his personal magnetism
and to his personal ability. In this
situation, however, the war spirit was
abroad in the land, and no emperor
or Reichstag could have controlled it
for very long. Russian mobilization
spelled danger for Germany. and the
nation realized it and acted accord
ingly.
1T is my belief. which is worth as
little or as much as that of any other
American who tries to keep in touch
with the situa ton abroad. that the
blow of Russia and France against
Germany has been delayed many
years through the moderation and
peace-loving nature of the present
German Emperor. An ambitious
war-lord would have plunged Europe
into war at the time of the Morocco
crisis.
This is not a war of conquest. Tt
is not a Napoleonic war to satisfy
the personal ambitions of an em-
peror. 1t is a defensive war for the
German race with their national life
at stake. Europe was ready for this
struggle When the Austrian arch
duke was murdered every European
capital knew that the time had come
for action. To the average American
the storm appeared from clear sky.
but, as a matter of fact. Europe had
prepared for many years for this
struggle.
