A RETROSPECT.

The roots of the terrible Eurpeoan
crisis strike deep in the past. -Four
elements can be traced in the process
that has brought about the actual sit.
uation. First the Nape ,leonic legend
appropriated and exploited by Napole.
on III, whose ambition 1t was to be.
come, as his uncle had been. the ar.
bitter 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 guidance OF the
iron hand and will of Bismarck: the
need of Great Britain TO preserve in
violable the safety of the seas around
her island capital, on which her very
existence depnded, and which involv.
ed practically the supremacy of the
whole ocean. The first of the move.
ments that Immediately led to the
present situation was Napoleon HIS
aid to the Italian revolt against Aus
tria, followed by Bismark's attack
on Austria, and her replacement Of
Prussia as the head Of the German
nationalities. Then came the sense
less challenge of Prussia by the
French emperor in the absurd matter
of the Spanish throne, giving Bis.
marck, an excuse, If not justification
for the war with France, which left
that nation mutilated and, for the
time being, crushed.

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.
iculty. 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,
trained and directed by the marvellous
brain of Bismarck, and later by the
singular genius OF the present emper.
or, wrought miracles OF energy and ex.
ppansions at home and abroad in all
the fields Of industry and commerce
as well as OF military development.
Against the triple alliance, framed TO
aid this progress, there gradually
came about the healing OF the accent
animostly between England and
France, the French alliance with Rus.
STA, and the understanding between
Russia, France and Great Britain
which constitutes today the somewhat
indefinite, but powerful, combination
known as the triple entente.
1t is easy to denounce these group
ings of the six powers, professedly
formed for mutual defense, and to de.
clare that they have precipitated the
war that seems so nearly inevitable.
But II is not easy to deny that they
have been inspired, II not compelled
by the play OF great international for.
ces of which the statesmen of Europe
have been the more OF less uncon-
scious agents. And IL is to be recall
ed, dark as the prospect now is, that
in these later years the members of
the two groups have in actual fact
been able to avert general war under
conditions that nearly all of them be-
lieved made war certain. Certainly
the desire for continued peace, the
dread OF the necessary consequence Of
war, have not been lessened by the
startling demonstration of the influ
ence for disaster that the near ap-
proach OF war exerts. With the great
body of financial business throughout
the civilized world practically paralyz-
ed. with the machinery of credit, in
ternal and external, ungeared and
thrown into the most distressing dis.
order and confusion, with millions on
millions of values vanishing under the
menace of war, what mustbe the re-
suit of general confiSE-New York

New Ideas In skyserapers.

When man first used brick or stone
for the walls OF houses these walls
had to be very strong. as they had
to bear not only their own weight but
the weight OF the entire building and
all II contained. And when later. man
used columns. probably to initiate
the trunks OF trees; these columns
we're not intended to beautify the
building. but had real purpose.
which was that OF Strengthening and
supporting the walls. But with the
improved modern way OF building a
skyscraper. where the entire weight
Of the building and roof are upheld
and borne by the steel skeleton. the
walls bear nothing, not even their
own weight. Why not treat them as
shells only, and decorate them and
construct them In a suitable manner?
The lighter and the more graceful
in design such decorations are, the
more beautiful and fitting the effect
will be. In tall buildings the exterior
should have an upward sweep. They
should create the impression that the
building is rising from the sea, or else
going into space before ones eye. The
only thing that is original in most Of
our sbyscrapers Is their shape and
size There are skyscrapers in New
York which look as II they were built
In sections; you can take the second
or third stories and make a separate
building OF them; and then another lot
of stories from which to make another
building. and so forth down to the
lowest two or three stories, which
would make a separate and more fit
ting building all by itself. Theodore
F. Kruger, modern architect says
Combine lightness and gracefulness
with beauty and by avoiding horizon
tai lines as much as possible, create
the impression that the building were
raised into the air without any visible
effort, like a dream in stone or a po-
EN- in marble. II would still be the
steel Of modern commercial or indus
trial structure" he concluded.
