THE SPIRIT OF BISMARCK

France had made an alliance, which
created with it an alliance with auto
cratic Russia; both her historic enc
mics. And who had done it? 1t one of
the English government had attempt
ed it the fact would probably have
leaked out in some way, and been
hindered if not prevented by Germany;
for that kind of watch dog growl-
ing, barking and biting they call high
diplomacy. But the easy going Ed
ward VII had accomplished the feat
and it will pass in history as a great
deed; he did not do it, a king with
another king; but Edward, constitu-
tional ruler of England, as agent of
the government he did not and could
not appoint, but heartily in sympathy
with them and the Commons. he
brought about a surprising alliance;
but when you come to look at it. the
most natural one in the world. And
public sentiment of both nations has
approved, and it looks as though the
centuries of long enmity of the two
peoples was now ending in an alliance
of real interests of the two great ma
tons; both with governments domin-
ated by the people. And we need
have no fear that some dark night
France will make peace with Ger
many and leave England in the lurch
as Napoleon III did after the battle
of Solferino; after the battle had been
won, in the night, without the knowl-
edge of Victor Emanuel or Cavour,
the French Emperor under a flag of
truce visited Francis Joseph the Aus

him; the Italian government being
ignored.
A week ago today was the Tooth
anniversary of the battle of Waterloo,
and many have been reading up" on
that historic event; and one fact has
come out that sets many people to
thinking: it seems that German
Butcher looked upon Napoleon as
having broken parole by leaving
Elba and again making war in Eu-
rope; ad he was for shooting him at
once; which Immediately makes us
think of the stern and cruel methods
of the present German officers in Bel
GUM, Wellington would not allow it.;
he knew it would have made Napoleon
ten times more a hero in the eyes of
the French.
1t is evident that the tide of pub
lie sentiment runs more and more
against Germany throughout the
world Even the German embassy
in this country has seen it, and rec
commended their government not to
crowd America too hard. Every fact
which comes out, month by month
only tends to make the world believe
that William II and his government
has been coolly planning for forty
years to smash some neighbor and
over them climb to world power. Will
liam may well study the fate of Ma
poleon; there is much similarity be-
tween the aims the two entertained
