The fact that six of the European Powers including the five greatest are simultaneously at war shatters in the first place the great illusion that a European war is impossible in the present B2B. Writers like M. Jean de Bloch. and Mr. Norman Angell have been constantly telling us for many years peat that a Grest European War has been rendered impossible by the obligations and apprehensions of interlaced Finan cial interests, or, as one writer |háa put it, that “ owing to the costliness of modern warfare and to the fact that the whole abis. bodied manhood was enrolled in the army, war is now financially and economically impossible; that at the outbreak of war the national industries would come to a stand- still; that owing to the complexity of modern economic relations and to the wide ramifications of credit, the whole economic structure of a country at war would colls pas | like a house of cards.

The Belgians, as we were able to state in our later editions, last night, have been vory successful in coping with the Germans on the Belgian frontier. The new to hand speaks of 5,000 Germans being placed out of action. The Belgians, indeed have been Burprisingly well prepared, and doubtless their prepared and their masterly defence has sur- prised none more than the Germans, who despised to work an adversary as Belgiam appeared to be The fact in, as was stated in this column some little tims ago, the Belgians as soldiers are not only courageous and skilful but they are well-equipped writh up-to-date armament.
