It was not because Germany had ceased to covat oversea dominions. that she gave up the attempt to rival Britain as a naval Power and, by means of a huge domestic- losn, turned her attention to the building up of a greater army Germany saw the menace of the East and the defeat of the Tucks by the Slava was a danger signal to Austria and Germany alike. The early outbreak of the war shows that the danger was not overestimated, and, in the Titanic struggle that seems to be immi- nent, the reckoning with the Anglo-Saxon has been postponed, and for this reason, Mr. Asquith. | was able to declare in the House of Commons on Thursday that Great Britain had no interests at atake and could as an undivided

The European Crisis. Italy, it appears, is not so eager to participate and indeed that is not surprising, for in a general upheaval it is clear that she stands to lose much more: than she is likely to gain. Great Lritain is preparing quietly bat surely for the most serious ' emergenojes that might arise." All domestic controveraies have been eclipsed in the desire for the presentation of a united front. Those who relied upon internal discord proving a factor in their | favour will find that they have sadly erred, for there is not a gan in the hands of the doughty Ulsterites that will not be placed at the service of the mother". country-and, if need be, the men of Ulster behind them.⠀⠀ The preparations of Great Britain are being conducted in a manner becoming a great nation with world-wide interests at stake, and [though at present, as Mr. Asquith pointed out in the House of Commons yesterday, we have no direct interest in the conflict, set certain circumstances may make it imperative that we take an active part in the conflict.

All companies registered in a British Colony ehould be required to keep their books ia Loglish. There ja no hardship on the Chinese in this requirement, for they can do their business, it they chose, without becoming jint-stock concerns. If they wish to enjoy the benefits of incorporation under British law they should be prepared to comply with regulations such as obtain in all cther countries. Even in India, we believe, the books of all registered comparies have to be kept in English. Directors of the more important Chinese Com panies in Hongkong ure sa a rula well acquinted with English, and there is no lack of Chinese clerks who have auflicient know. ledge to keep the faw neres
