Washington-Thc roots Of the ter
riblc European crisis strike deep in
the past Four elements can be
traced in the process that has brought
about the actual situation, declared a
prominent diplomat. First the Napo-
leonic legend appropriated and ex-
plotted by Napoleon III, whose ambi-
ton it was to become, as his uncle
had been, the arbter of war or peace
in Europe: the intense desire and
practical need of Russia to expand
toward the open ocean, intensified by
the aspiration for eastern empire; the
growth of Germany under the guild
ance of the iron hand and will of Bis
marck; the need OF Great Britain to
preserve inviOlable the safety OF the
seas around her island capital, On
which her very existence depends, and
which involved practically the suprem-
acy Of the whole ocean, The first of
the movements that Immediately led
to the present situation was Napoleon
Ill's aid to the Italian revolt against
Austria, followed by Bismarck's attack
on Austria, and her replacement by
1 uSSIt DIS Tie lSdu Vi llle NeIUldll lid
tionalities. Then came the senseless
challenge Of Prussia by the French
emperor in the absurd matter of the
Spanish throne, giving Bismarck an
excuse if not a justification of the
war with France which left that ma
ton mutilated and, for the time be-
ing, crushed.
In the confused and perpleXing
years that ensued on this war the
three nations we have mentioned
strove to defend and extend the vital
interests we have indicated, while the
statesmen of France, with infinite diff
fculty, sought to regain a position of
safety making possible internal de-
velopment and the recovery in some
degree of international prestige. The
newly aroused and tremendously Wig
orous national feeling OF Germany.

The Evcl.ticn Of Summer Resort.

AT a certain period in their devel-
opment. many popular summer re-
sorts have changed character. At first
they We're places of simple hotels and
boarding houses. Visitors came in
formally. lived plainly. and were free
to wander where they would.
AS the place becomes better known
for it's natural beauties, house lots
are bought by wealthy people and
handsome homes erected. The public
is fenced off from places where it
once wandered freely. Hotel guests
are looked upon by the cottage e!e-
ment as barbarians, with an innate
propensity to wander over private
land. and scatter remnants of picnic
lunches.
In the early days it was permissible
for people to wear their old clothes.

If they wished to economize. they
could do their own domestic work.
But as the cottage element comes
in. these primitive manners are no
longer permissablc. People must be
prepared to put on their fine feathers.
Servants must be taken along and all
the machinery of elaborate city life
provided. But many of the pleasures
of the more primitive era are lost.
