ANGLO-GERMAN WAR GAME. "GERMANY MUST HAVE OUR TERRITORY." Rv Tol®cmpli.-Pr«H.s Anwwi a.Ut>n.-Oop.vrnflit London, Monday. A remarkable article by Mr Israel Zangwil, entitled "The War Devil," has been published in the I)nily Chronicle. Mr ZangwiJl pictures statesmen primed with culture, Christianity, and peace, and yot <-ondeni»e<i to bujld "Not God'a kingdom, but the devil'e." "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. Mr Zangwill add.-?: "We have all the coat, of greatness, and yot no greatness; and the same spiritual blight was over tho bulk of Europe when united Europe nerved itself to make a demonstration against Montenero.

"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.'
