THE GERMAN SPECTRE.
Mr .W* T. Stead', in one of his 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 I Empire alone remains as an ; independent unit, whose counsels are not dominated by the .shadows of German swords. But England, despite the entente with France and l Russia; is powerless from,, a military joint of view. Her domination is becoming more and more limited to
the sovereignty of the seas, but that sovereignty has been diligently un-
dermined for the past ten years, and the menacing shadow that stretches across the narrow sea fills the minds of Britons' with undisguised uneasiness."
