Spain is growing restless. Whether the war will lead to a reversion of feeling remains to be seen. On the whole the ten- dency seems to be towards the acceptance of a very liberal outlook, The Chinese have always held themselves quite free in the matter of bolief. There has been, of course, a great deal of ignorance and superstition among the poorer classes, but the educated people have always had an outlook which is not far removed from modern agnosticism. A great feature of the Chinese philosophy has been the love of peace, though there has been a good dent of difference between theory and prae- bios, because China has been a land of rebellions. It is hoped by sanguine thinkers that Europe will seek to obtain perpetual peace after this awful war is finished. It may be that the West will adopt some of the philosophy of the East in such matters: It is certainly a fact that imitation has commenced in the matter of pasthamous honours.
