powers were visibly armed to the
teeth. 1t will drag all the big
powers into 1t n the last war did.
Nothing could have seemed fairer
in 1914 than the kaiser's demand for
a square fight with Russia when
the Gar would not let Austria
avenge tho assassination at Saratevo.
But the other powers believed that
II they stood by and kept the ring
for the kaiser he would beat Rus
STA and become too big for the bal
ance of power. He was caught be-
tween their refusal to promise not
to attack him in the rear and
Russias mobilization.
In vain General Won Bernhard
warned him not to give them
chance at him until he had both
America and Turkey on his side.
Events would not wait for that
consideration. He was at bay,
and he dashed at the French sec
ton of the ring. and dragged all
the rest into the fight-Brltain.
Japan, Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria,
Rumania and finally the United
States.
Balance Of Power.
Thus at bottom Germany was
bfndSneu because n rance ana Eng
land were afraid of her: and now
France is more afraid Of her than
ever; and England is afraid to let
France give her the coup de grace.
Unfortunately, now that the
problem that the balance Of power
has proven insoluble in Europe, 1t
has risen more pressingly than ever
round the Pacific. Face that sit
uation, and face the fact that dis
armament would be illusory even
X the powers could be induced to
disarm. and. unless you are a war
profiteer. you will feel extremely
gloomy, and will wonder whether
in my next article I shall be able
to point out any road along which
we can flee from the wrath to
come. But on all such roads II Is
possible to charge in the opposite
direction: and can promise moth
ing beyond another unheeded cry
in the wilderness.
