"England and Germany," he says, I "are playing a war game, and an in a game of "cards they are trumping each other's lead. "With tho baleful shadow of Bismarck looming over Europe terrorstricken England throws horself into the arms of Russia, funking perforce to tho level of her barbarian swain.

"If Germany desires our territory she must have it. There in no reason, other than the sword, why Britain should possesa one-fourth of the globe.'
