ant books.)

The greatest calamity in history is upon us-a calamity so vast that our senses are numbed with horror. We hardly dare look into the pit that now yawns at our feet and yet any hour. any minute may plunge us in beyond all hope of return. At this moment our fate is being sealed by hands that we know not, by motives alien to our interests, by influences that if we knew we should certainly repudiate. Every step at this hour may be IT, revocable. The avalanche trembles on the brink and a touch may send it shatering into the abyss.
 The peace of every land, the hap piness of every home in Europe, the very bread by which we live, hang at this moment upon the will of one man, the Czar of Russia. It is he whise hand is on the avalanche. It is he who with one stroke of the pen, one word of the mouth, one motion of the head can plunge Europe in a sea of blood and bury all achievements of our civilization in anarchy. The whole continent is trembling with the tread of armed men. From the Neva to the Rhone, the legions are in mo- tion. A friend of mine came through Prussia two days ago. At the stations -as he passed-he saw the platforms lined with men in private clothes awaiting their dispatch to an unknown doom on an unknown field-men who have no share in this quarrel of the dynasts, who do not know what 1t is about, who will slay or be slain with out hate and without understanding. And another tells us that as he lay at Dion three nights ago he heard the tramp of men and the rumbling Of artillery all through the dark hours and that when he came down in the morning there was not a waiter in the hotel. They, too, had gone in the dark to meet their doom.
 And at St. Petersburg, there sits the man who has every one of these lives and millions more at his mercy, and who at one word can let hell loose upon the face of Europe. Is he a man we can trust with this momen- tous power? A weak man, supersti- tious, under the influence now of in. human philosophers, like Pobiedonost- self or Meshkershtsky, now of the mystics and charlatans, like Phillipe and Rasputin, who decorates his Black Hundreds on the morrow of their mas sacres and holds half of Europe in the grip of mediaeval despotism-is he the man whom the free peoples of France and England can trust their destiny? Is he the man for whom we are going to shed our blood and our treasure? M Rnssia the type of civilization that we are prepared to bleed ourselves white to make trium- phant over Europe and Asia?
 The question is for us. For though the Czar has his hand on the ava lanche 1t is we who have our hand on him. It is we who in the last analysis must say whether Europe is to be- deluged with blood. Do you doubt it? Turn to your paper this (FTiday) morning. There you will see a mes

Reuter-. It begins: Ss
 "The situation shows, so far, change in the direction of peace. The sailing of the British fleet from Port land has created an immense impress sion and, coupled with Japan's assur- ances, has more than confirmed Ru sia's determination to stand to her guns"
 In that flash we see the situation We see the Czar with his hand on the avalanche looking toward England for the one assurance that he needs. Let England say: "No, you touch 1t at your own risk and your own peril" and his hand will drop. Let England falter, temporize, equiyocate, and he will plunge us into ruin with the rest.
 Campaign of the Warmongers
 We are told that we must be quiet, that we may encourage Germany by making her believe that she has not to reckon with us. But the move is not with Germany. The move is with Russia. It is she whom we encourage or discourage by every word that is said and every action that is done. It is she who has the issues of war and peace in her hands. It is she whom the sailing of our fleet from Portland has confirmed in her deter imitation to stand to her guns" Quiet? But who is keeping the Times and the Daily Mail and the rest of these papers which by years of anti German propaganda have been paving the way to this stupendous catastro- phe-who is keeping them quiet? Nay, who is inspiring them? Who is au- thorizing them to tell Russia that she may start the avalanche with the as- surance that we shall be in the abyss with her? They talk of our "obliga- tions to our friends" We have no obligations except the obligation to preserve this country from any share III Iu0 Cl luI6 ludI IH1 OdCCho IO O'OA- whelm Europe. Again and again we have had the assurance of the Prime Minister and Sir Edward Grey that our hands are not tied. If that is so, why are these mischievous declara- tions about our complicity allowed to pass? Every one of them is new indictment to Russia, fresh match applied to the powder magazine of Europe. They are reproduced in Rus sia to feed the flame of popular pas sion and to nerve the Czar to the fatal act.
 Tho Assassination
 If we are free-and we know that we are free-what ground is there for involving ourselves in this unspeak- able calamity? On the immediate cause of the quarrel we can have no sympathy with Servia. The assassina- tion of the Grown Prince and his wife was a brutal and cold-blooded crime, the fruit of a conspiracy laid with in- finite care and deliberation and wholly inspired by Servia It was a plot so so official, as it were, that there was no possibility of the vic tins escaping. They were literally enveloped by death from the moment they entered Serajevo. The crime

power" can be doubt where our in- terest lies? For years, under the in- dustrious propaganda of Lord North cliffe, MT. Strackey, MT. Maxse and the militarists, this country has been preached into an anti-German frame of mind that take no account of the facts. Where in the wide world do our interests clash with those of Ger many? Nowhere. With Russia we have potential conflicts over the whole of Southeastern Europe and Southern Asia. have recalled the doggerel of forty years ago. It was typical. The whole of the latter half of last century was dominated by our fear of Russia's designs upon our In- dian Empire. Are those designs dead? No; if ever they had reality, they are as real today as they were and much more practicable. The insane policy that has driven us into enmity with Germany has led us to sanction Rus sia's annexation of Northern Persia and to listen to scheme for Rus- sian railway to the very gates of In. dia-a scheme the mere hint of which would have driven the Jingoes to a frenzy twenty years ago. We may help to trample Germany in the dust and exalt Russia, but If we do so, we shall not buy off one fragment of Russia's aims in the future
 And what if as the outcome of this Armageddon, she makes terms with Germany and divides the sway of Flu rope? What, then, will the Indian Empire be worth? This is no wilo dream All things are possible if once we are involved in this horror Remember the swift changes in the Balkans that turned the swords of the allies at each others throats al- most in a night?
 The Menace at Home
 And what price shall we pay at home? The fabric of our finance is shaken. Industry will be paralyzed. Famine will be in our midst. The whole of our hopes of social reform and the betterment of the people will go like a dream in the night-swa:- lowed up in the nightmare of a hide- ous reality Does the Czar, sitting with his hand on the avalanche, think of that? Do the preachers of anti Germanism think of that? These are the same people who have fought with every weapon in their power against our efforts to make the lot of the con- mon people of this land little better and to lay more firmly the founda- tions of a free people. Are all these efforts to collapse in ruin? Are we to share the universal anarchy?
 For it is anarchy as we'll as war to which Europe is rushing. No man can tell what will emerge when the whole fabric of society has been shat tered. But one thing will not emerge. The dynasts will go with the horror that they have created. The people failed in 1S4S, but they will not fail in 1914 Whatever miseries they have to face in the future, they may be trust ed to sweep the curse of despotism off tho faco of EIlrOne

could be isolated Austria would not be justified In exacting- severe terms from the criminal.
 Why is European war threatened to save Servia from punishment? Be- cause Servia is the instrument of Rus sia. It was in Belgrade that most mischievous of Russian diplomatists, M. Hartwig, carried on his machina- tions throughout the Balkan war. It is through Belgrade that Russia hopes to establish her nominations of the Balkan peninsula. Have we any in- terest in helping her? Will 1t please the miners of Northumberland and the cotton operatives of Lancashire to know that Europe has waded thru blood in order to give Russia the hegemony of the Slavoworld? Is her rule so beneficient that we can go to war to help her to extend 1t? l am old enough to remember-it does not seem very long ago-when the music halls of London were ringing with:
 We don't want to fight
 But by Jingo If we do
 We've got the ships
 We've got the men
 We've got the money, too.
 We've fought the Bear before
 And while we're Britons, true,
 The Russians shall not have
 Con-stanti-no-ple."
 I hated the jingle then as l hate 1t now, because it was a detestable ap- peal to ignorance and passion. But behind that appeal to make war on Russia were all the same vicious influ- ences that are today working to achieve for Russia that very suprem- acy in the Balkans, that path to Con- stantinople which they denied her in 1878. Let us recall that fact when we hear the patriotic gramophones-as Lord Northcliffe shouting for war-as they always shout for war. Let the public remember that with all it's af- fectation of gravity, the voice of the Times is the same voice as that which speaks in the Daily Mail, the Evening News and all the rest of the rabble of lingo journalism. It is only the ac- cent which is little more polite. We saw how the system works yesterday. In the Times in the morning, Lord Northcliffe published an article care fully designed to encourage Russia to believe that she may rely on us to back her. In the evening, he repro duced it in his Evening News for the mob as the voice of the august Times. It is thus that he gives the air of pub lie clamor when he alone is speaking through his myriad gramophones.
 Germany or Russia
 If, then, we have neither sympathy with Servia in the quarrel, nor tra- ditional interest in the aims of her master in the Balkans, who should we go to war? Is it because we wish the Russian civilization to overwhelm the German civilization? There is not a thinking being in this land, who, competent to form a judgment, would
