ENGLAND'S GRAVE POSITION.
With the opening hour of the pre
vent Hii \ Ungland, fur tlie first time In
noun centuries lituis herself forced
Into an attitude of defence against an
armed mil hostile foe who is carrying
the flaming brand of war to her own
gates
Not since ilmt memorable September
din over eight centuries ago when
another William buttered at her ram
parts lias she found herself beset by
forces which the might of her navies
could not successfully oppose She is
now approached bv a foe whose un
seen deadliness can scarcely he. dis
covered until havoc lias been wrought
md before which tlie power of her vast
naval armaments melts into a com
paratively impotent nothingness as far
s goes its abilitv to save her from
li evanescent enemy such as tills,
which finds hem atli tile rolling waves
of the sea, shcltt i and security from
the belching guns of dreadna lights.
Under the present conditions the very
presence of her monster fleet in the
1 1 ' JBJg
I
waters it has so long guarded, is a
further menace to her security rather
than a protection as every ship lost
lessens In some degree her ability to
resist the further encroachments of the
foe along other lines. It is small
wonder that, as stated In the tele
grams. all England is tilled with ap
prehension for what this a.tvd the suc
ceeding days may bring as. a result of
Germany's hold stroke. Such are the
fortunes of war that, should the Ger
mans succeed in this novel undertaking,
the world may witness the striking
spectacle of proud and haughty Albion
handing a suppliant knee before a foe
she cannot conqueror Such would
indeed be a strange sight Never in
the known history of the world has a
nation attained such world-wide do- '
ml nance as is possessed by that com
parattvely insignificant plot of land
called Britain, in every corner of the
globe the flaming banner of St. George
flaunts to the varying breeze, the:
[greatness of England's power and pos
I sessions Rome conquered the world
[ indeed, hut li was a most Inflnltesmal
world as compared to the wide domain
over which England holds her sway.
Her wide-scattered possessions cover
the earth and tier power is felt in every
'and regardless of the flag that floats
j above. Her vast navies have ioug been
the very wheel* of the worlds com
merce, and the greatness of her mone
tary wealth far exceeds that of any
other nation World dominance with
lull that It betokens, wealth and all the
power that it bestows: pomp and
splendor and all that goes to make up
the *um of earthly greatness all are
hers, and > et before these menacing
tubes of steel, driven, unseen and
deadly, beneath the crested waves over
which she long has held the supreme
rule, she. becomes almost helpless

TANGO BLAMED FOR THE WAR.
The German press bureau in New
j York gave out the following recently:
"A remarkable article bus been pub
lished in Christiana from the pen of
the Norwegian writer. Theodore Car
park who, after profound meditation,
lias concluded that the dance known us
the tango foreshawoded the present
war. lie writes: 'When s certain period
of culture nears its termination for
lack of new ideas, then humanity in
its search for a fresh path to follow
w ill undergo certain psyeologieal
symptoms, which a careful observer
will recognize as precursors of a new
cultural epoch. These symptoms are
of a more or less epidemical character
and spread over smaller or larger parts
of the world. To dance is nothing ab
normal in itself is the conclusion
drawn, but when the world is in a
frenzy, when there is dancing on all
the stages, in every society, and serious
business men at their >‘lrl age start to |
learn new steps, there must be some
tiling wrong, there must be some men
tal defect In humanity which forms a
grave symptom of an impending' social
decline ' "
