THE GERMAN SPECTRE.
Mr W. T. Stead, in one of bis latest articles, expresses the belief that it is no use trying to exorcise the German spectre, it will not be put down. “ The publication of the German census figures,” Mr Stead goes on to say, ‘‘has given a new head to the spectre. The great problem that troubles the Old World to-day is the rise of Germany to a position of domination on the Continent greater than that enjoyed by any other Power since Napoleon. The British Empire alone remains as an independent unit, whose counsels are dominated by the shadows of German swords. But England, despite the entente with France and Russia, is powerless from a military point of view. Her domination is becoming more and more limited to the sovereignty of the seas, but that sovereignty has been diligently undermined for the past ten years, and the menacing shadow that stretches across the narrow sea fills the minds of Britons with undisguised uneasiness.”
