We are reluctant to believe If, but its r seems almost certain that France is itching to be up and at us.
Surely, there are yet left some level. headed statesmen in France who can be depended on to use their Influence to bring about a settlement of all questions that may now be at issue, providing the main tenance of peace would not entail a disastrous revolution in France,
The monarchists have been gaining strength steadlly for years past and it is just possible that to divert the attention of the masses from home politics the navigators of the French ship of state are desi- rous of waging a popular war-war with England! That such a war would be as popular on our side of the Channel as In France we doubt not; but that is not the question. What we have to consider ALL these are selected by cur London House, bought direct at first hand, insported in woods, should we be left to fight our battles and bottled by ourselves, thus saving all inter- with France alone, or would Russia chip A late Tram will leave for the Peak 15 minutes mediate profits, and anabling as to supply the In?

will not expend a cent in assisting France against England; that the latter is the mere cat's-paw of Russla, and that the rest of the really Great Powers of Europe can be counted on to refrain from Joining in the Issue. Germany would, of course, be a very interested spectator, for, whatever the result, it would mean to her absolute security against any attempt on the part of France to recover Alsace and Lorraine for many a long year. With the position and feeling of the other Powers and the possible effect of such a war
on Far Eastern affairs we are not yet concerned. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," and we desire therefore to await some developments before dealing exhaustively with the situation as it is, not as we would like to have it.
