NEW YORK. September 2S.-The
early passing of Great Britain as
world power is forecast by Dean 1nge
Of ST. Paul's, London, in an analytical
survey Of the empire. published yes
terday as the latest of series by
various authors on THE Modern
World"
Living up thoroughly to his title
of s'the gloomy dean" he sees great
danger not only in the international
situation, but even more from the
"anti ti.social and unpatriotic sectional
ism, which is the curse of Industrial
civilization especially dangerous In
country situated as we are
THE main danger is interior to the
empire" declares the dean. THE
omens at present are very unfavor-
able.
Everything points to coming
time of trial for the nation and the
empire. 1t seems for every reason un-
likely that our position as world
power will endure much longer. Much
depends upon the friendliness Of the
United States, on which we certainly
cannot count, though of which we
should not despair.
Relations With America.
1.-THE cordial friendship which many
Englishmen enjoy with individual
Americans must not blind US
either to the intense concentration of
the American people at large upon
what they consider their own inter
ests, or to the prevailing unfriendli,
ness of America, as expressed by Its
politicians and journalists, to this
country.
IF in the future we are attacked
by a European coalition, we may
take it as probable that the United
States will leave us to our fate, un-
less, indeed, we are invaded by a
black army"
There are no reasons for war at
present between the British empire
and the United States, says the dean,
"since our government invariably
gives way"
Americans insisting upon repay
ment of the vast debt, incurred for
France, to which we rashly put our
names, have secured that we should
remain permanently tributary to
themselves"
Direction Nation Is Taking.

present form of government If only
because there is no obvious alterna-
tive" Dean Inge concluded. In plain
living and high thinking will be our
