(I ranslated jroni the Nordd. Attgemeine Zeitung.) The well-known Munich Protestor of International Law, Freiherr von Stengel, who took part in th.- first Hague Peace Conference of 1890 as one of the representatives oi Germany, has been busying himself with the problem of eternal peace Herr von Stengel, whose very significant work, published by Reich (Jo., is called Witfstaat utid Triedetis- proldrrn, speaks among other things of the signi ficance of war in the development of humanity, and dwells on the powerful influence which it has had upon the progress of civilisation. Apropos of these conclusions, the author remarks: “The preceding conclusions do not absolutely mean that States should make war as often as possible in order to realise some of its advantages. War is and always will remain an evil, and no patriot would wish that his countrymen should engage in the dangeis and horrors of war without the most urgent reasons. What I wish to do is to combat the one-sided view of the ‘Peace at any price’ party, and to point out that war, like all other human affairs, has two sides. War must not be judged merely as robbery and murder undertaken from a greed for Empire. Nor must it be placed on the same footing as the crimes of robber bands. It must be regarded as a form of strife in which the deepest feelings Of a people find expression. A worldwide historical significance lie; in this—that war has from early times been a real factor in the developrnentMvf humanity, and will so remain even though, in the future, wars will be waged less often, and will last a shorter time than in earlier ages. “The ‘Peace at any price’ party are fond of insisting that the people themselves are everywhere disposed to be peaceful, and that the desire for war is only to be found among princes and governments, who' from the beginning, have waged war from a desire to increase their commerce, to extend their territories, to gratify their ambitions, or for other ignoble reasons. It is certainly the case that many wars not merely in the East and in tormer ages, but also in Europe, and in the last century, have been caused bv the ambi tion and lust for land of a single ruler. It is only necessary to mention most of the wars of Louis XIV. and of Napoleon ; but, generally, the people were and are just as anxious-for war as the rulers,, as can be clearly demonstrated by citing examples from quite modern times, such as the frame of mind of the French during the war of 1870-71, the conduct of the English during the South African campaign, and the enthusiasm of the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese war. This also is quite intelligible. The real reasons for war lie, as a rule, not in the more or less arbitrary de signs of the Government, but in the conilict of im portant interests between the States concerned. When a people considers its honour and its material inter ests gravely endangered by another people, it dies to arms in spite of all the peace conferences and con gresses. But the most important interests of a people are its domestic interests, which ultimately build up the foundations of its being, and mould its develop ment, and for this reason, as has already been shown, opposing domestic interests have often caused wars in the past, and will also cause them in the future. If it is true that w r ars are not, at any rate as a rule, caused in the interests of or by the caprice of go vernments or princes, neither can wars be obviated by the increase of Republican Government, as Schucking, for example, imagines. The fallacy of this assertion is shown, not merely by the example of Rome, wdiich under the Republic had continual wars, but by many examples in later and even in the latest times. Even supposing that social democracy triumph ed in all States war would not disappear, for the Social Democratic party hates and opposes the present social system; hence the international point of view from which it regards the peace movement. If the States were formed into united ‘production spheres/ according to social democratic ideas, then the economic competitive struggle would soon break out among them, and this must necessarily lead to war. Besides, it may be remarked, the Social Democratic partv can scarcely gain the victory in any State without a re volution ; and this revolution, a; the Communist ris ing in 1871 has shown, will cause little less blood shed than a war ” MixedDrinks:; Port ; Sh Z?’F obler C Lotnfuii. etc U htsky S.-Soda, t.ognac.ui veil,is Rort.Sheiry et,-. -— v .. . . ill glasses!

Towards th e close oi his book Herr von Stengel deals with the question of the modern peace move ment, more particularly in its relation to Germane, and says: “The peace party have frequently deplored the fact that the peace movement has made more progress in other countries than in Germany, but the German people ought rather to be congratulated that they have not been more a fleeted by this move ment than is actually the "case 1 Prussia triseoveied, in the wars of 180D-07, the straits to which a mania tor peace and cosmopolitan theories can reduce a State, for, in sober truth, the ruin of Prussia at that period can be ascribed to a great extent to an unwar- i;ke and unmanly sentiment, and to an indifference to all national feeling, brought about by the cos mopolitan, ultra-humane, and transcendental ideas of the time which had found their way into every circle. “Among peoples fixedly and decidedly national like the English and the French, it is indeed possible that peace propaganda may do no particular harm, but in Germany u'e have to watch every appearance ot it, not merely with suspicion, but in order earnest ly to fight against it, for in the peace movement lies a cosmopolitanism inimical to the national sentiment, and its plausible teaching is at this time finding more adherents in Germany itself than elsewhere. Our heroes in South West Africa have shown, indeed, that the danger is not yet great that Germans should soon lose their joy in arms and their indiiVerence to death. But in these matters it is well said Prtnci jdis eace at any price’ party ohstu. hor;,.insf:i ice, th. desire that th. idea of peace should take root in our growing youths, that the courageous . and warlike spirit in our young men should be stamped out, that hatred for military service should become common, and self-sacrifice for the Fatherland be regarded as a folly and a crime. ' This must be prevented. Should the peace movement make further progress in Ger many, and the martial spirit be taken away from the German people, and should consequently a limitation of armaments commence, then most assuredly the i espect which is tell for Germany, not in Europe alone, will disappear. Such a course would give rise to the belief among the numerous enemies of Germany that German rights and German interests may be injured with impunity. This must eventually lead to war like developments, and wall bring about the very thing which the peace movement wishes to prevent —for it is clear that it is only because the German Empire is supported by its powerful armaments, and the martial and self-sacrificing spirit of the German people, that it has been able to follow for a whole generation a policy of peace.” NEWS OF THE WORLD. LONDON. —An extremely sad affair marred the shooting party arranged by King Edw ? ard for his guests in honour of his Majesty’s birthday. While shooting was in progress at Sandringham *Mr. Mon tague Guest, D.L., J.P-. one of the King’s oldest friends, was seen to fall suddenly to the ground, and it was discovered that he had sustained a stroke!

He died before medical assistance was forthcoming. Mr. truest was not himself taking part in the sport, but was watching the guns at work in the vicinity ot his Majesty and taking photographs of the King and the royal guests, at the same time rendering .assistance to a cinematographer who was taking a film ot the scene for the Vienna Sport Exhibition, by special permission of King Edward. The stroke carne without the least warning, and the unfortunate gentleman collapsed at the feet of his alarmed friends. King Edward ordered the body to be conveyed to Sandringham in one of the royal automobiles, and at once stopped the shooting. The sad incident has greatly agitated court circles and society generally. (From our correspondent.) LONDON, Wednesday. Certain inspired statements appearing in the Unionist papers leave no doubt as to the definite rejection of the Finance Bill when it comes up for a second reading in the House of Lords on the 22nd inst. According to the Times, when the Finance Bill is considered by the Peers on second reading an official Opposition amendment wdll be moved adverse to the measure. The rejection of the Bill may, therefore, be deemed to be assured. A sirnplei and concise amend ment to the effect that the House of Lords consider it inconsistent with their duty to pass the Bill be fore the country has been consulted upon it is the form ot amendment which, in ail probability, will commend itseil to the Opposition. Meanwhile, all the Unionist journals are giving covert advice to the Peers. That the approaching crisis is of great mag nitude cannot be questioned by any one acquainted with the real issues. There is, no doubt, a vast amount of sheer nonsense written for and against the Bill, its principles- or many of them'—are' not inconsistent with good finance, while they certainly follow the modern trend of democratic taxation. The most crushing indictment against the Bill, and one that is not refuted by its supporters, is that it has been Iramed s-fidy for the purpose of excluding Tariff Reform at any price. There was no choice before the Government but a drastic system of fresh taxation or Tariff Reform. Thus the Bill represents a bold effort to avert Protection, and it is chiefly on that account that the Opposition is so unanimously against its adoption. The right of any Government to indict its economic beliefs on the country under cover of indirect legislation is doubtful. Many people ask why the Liberals are so hostile to an experiment in Tariff Reform when, on numerous occasions, thev have themselves proposed measures wdiich verge closely on the same thing. The Patents Act in it self was a piece of unvarnished Protection, and was brought forward bv a Liberal Minister,—bv Mr. Lloyd George, in fact. But the spirit of Oobdyn; still influences the Government, and they would ad mittedly rather . see a further depression in trade than revoke their allegiance to doctrines which are admitted by most sensible men to be hopelessly anti quated All the Liberal press fulminations against the Lords may be taken as bluff. The Lords have little to do with the crisis ; and there is nothing to show that as a majority they are against the Budget. But their hand is being forced by the Opposition, w r ho are clamouring for a dissolution, in which case the re turn of the Unionists to pmver is a foregone con clusion. It is freely predicted that within -eighteen months England will have erected a tariff wall* no less lofty than those w'hich enclose the home markets of Germany and the Ignited States. KINGSTON (Jamaica), Thursday.—A violent hur ricane which swept over the island yesterday has caused disastrous floods and interrupted all communi cation between Jamaica and the neighbouring isles. ST. PETERSBIIRG, Thursday. —During a dress rehearsal of the opera “Tristan and Isolde” at the Imperial Marie Theatre here, the heroic tenor M.. Andrejeff accidentally inflicted with his sword a severe wound on M. Smirnoff, a baritone singer. VANCOUVER (B.-C.), Thursday.—A terrible col lision occurred on the local electric railroad yester day, in wdiich no fewer than 14 passengers were killed and seven seriously injured. The New York Times announces that Mr. Taft will introduce into Congress a Bill which sets forth a plan for the supervision and control of corporation issues. Mr. Taft’s scheme is of a drastic nature, and goes a step beyond the policy of Mr. Roosevelt.. There will be most strenuous opposition to the- Bill.
