Their intention is generous; the

WILL RAISE COMPLEX QUESTIONS
Observe in the first place that
this catastrophe repeats itself
with a periodicity so regular
that it assumes the appearance
of a law. Europe has submitted
to a general reorganization
.every hundred years.
The treaties of 1713-1714,
terminated the war of the
bey
irrevocably by
agreements whatsoever".
The conflict is drenching all
Europe with fne and blood, and
several parts of Asia and of
Africa. Civilized men and sava-
ges ate taking part in the fight.
Those w 10 still hold off, as does
Italy, merely are waiting for a
favorable opportunity for decid-
ing on a safe stroke The Allies
solemnly engage not to treat
for peace except by commwn
lienrd. Meanwhile their
respective motives and ambi-
tions may diffei greatly.
WORSE STRUQOLE MAT FOLLOW
From this point to the time
when the Germanic pewer shall
ha< e been annihilated, and from
this point to the time when all
the advarsaries of Germany
shall have reached complete
agreement on all the territorial,
economic, dynastic questions,
much time will flow past, and
much blood will flow.
Remember the two Balkan
wars. The first was terrible; the
second was still more cruel. The
allies who had crushed Turkey
rent each other in their struggle
to divide the booty.
After the collapse of the Ger-
man Empire and the dismenv"
berment of the Austro-Hunga-
rian Empire the booty will be
richer, the participants 'herein
more numerous, the difficulties
more -inextricable. While the
great congress of 1915 or 10,16
Works for the reorganization of
Europe, of Africa, and of a part
of Asia on new bases, the com-
batants of the day before will
not lay down their arms for
good ; perhaps they will take
them up again with greater
fury.
Within each country formid-
able disorders will arise. Several
millions of men will return
home to their hearths with new
souls. Their sufferings and perils
will have pive_n them other de-
sires.other ideas, other manners.
They will not dread violence as
yesterday they dreaded it, and
they will not have the same res-
pect for human life: they will
have seen death from too near
by, and will have marched over
t he corpses of friends or enemies.
Now they will find, in their
respective countries, political
life, economic life, social life,
all turned topsy-turvy. The\
will expect to regulate it anew;
but their ideas will not be in
concord and harmony.
Actually one wishes no long,
er to recognize parties or cliques-
Common peril reconciles ad-
versaries, as common hatred of
Germany has reconciled the
French and the English, the
English and the Russians. But
these reconciliations are but
conditional. They will last as
long as the ordeal lasts that
determined them. Onthemor.
row of the peace England will
find herself face to face with
Russia, and the Socialists face
to face with the conservative
parties, the anticlericals face to
by insurrection, and that was
probably one of the reasons
which led Germany to discount
the victory. But a't the critical
moment the Socialist masses
were carried away by the deep
instinct of patriotism. The
French Socialists wished to beat
down German imperialism, the
German Socialists wished to
beat down Czarism. And their
leaders were obliged to follow
them, as always, to obey orders
in order to escape being lynch-
ed.
3ecome patriots by force, they
presently exacted a reward
among us, two seats in the Gov-
ernment. Upon the establish
ment of the peace they will
exact very much rrfore: they
will demand economic legisla-
tion and political privileges con
forming to their most audacious
programme.

Even during the truce the
leaders of the opposing parties
"are keeping their powder dry,"
noting the arguments, collect

And the reckoning will be harsh.
For example, the Socialists
are not expecting the same re-

They have always declared
themselves to be pacificists at
any price. They had even sworn,
in France, to prevent the war I made sudden and immeasurable

expenses of a gigantic war the
States are forced to run heavily
into debt. The charges on the

indemnities, which it is necess-
ary to distribute to the families
of soldiers and workingmen
without employment, bring in
their train the establishment of
great State monoplies and the
confiscation of a part of proper-

IN the history of an
watch that for a short
has been the property of .
Belgian Relief Fund, and whiv.-
was offered for sale at its New
York headquarters, and sudden-
ly withdrawn the other day, the
superstitious will find material
for argument, while those who
defy superstition may at least
find interest. There is a mystery
about the watch, a beautiful
piece of jeweler's work that
must have cost near $5,000.
Nobody at the Belgian Relief
Headquarters knows who pre-
sented it to the fund. The writer
happens to know, and here is its
story, every detail of which can
be vouched for.
Some years ago one of the
most generous patrons of a
fashionable New York jeweler
was a man whose family has
been identified with this part of
the world for many generations.
He had a young and beautiful
wife, and often he used to drop
in at the jeweler's just to see if
there wasn't something new or
rare that would make a suitable
present for her.

"Fourth of July," and in com-
mon with thousands of others
were witnessing the illumi-
nations of the magnificent
buildings surrounding a large
Eublic square, when the rain
egun to fall, and the dense
crowd sought the protecting
shelter of the surrounding
sheds. It was our first ex-
peiience of the horrors of a
crowd. We were completely
wedged in and being some-
what alarmed, endeavoured
to get out of it by going back
to the outskirts, but that was
humanly impossible, it meant
being trampled upon and
crushed into a quivering
mass. Our only safety lay
in moving forward with the

cation was immanent,

tain limits at a speed not ex-

Owing to the increase of these
vehicles and the reckless driv-
ing of some Owners and
Chauffeurs, and the Cab
stands being in the middle of
the Street here is great and
increasing danger of serious
accidents occurring, such as
collisions with cabs and per-
sons being run over. The
rate of speed allowed in tho-
roughfares is bad enough, but
when to this is added the in-
competency of drivers, it be-
comes a serious question, and
one which demands a strict
and rigid surveillance. We
have frequently noticed Mo-
tor Cars going around corners
without any dimunition of
speed, and but for the Provi-
dence which watches over
fools, the accident ward of the
D. G. Hospital would ere this
have furnished a pretty long
list of cases resulting from the
carelessness of drivers, and
the indifference of the proper
authorities.

will engage the attention of
the powers that be, before a
misdemeanour becomes a
felony, and some are left to

THE R0TH8CHILDS
London, November, 28th 1914.
It is surely a little curious
that the support given by the
Austrian Rotlschilds to the
Austrian War Loan has passed,
if not entirely unnoticed, at
least without public comment.
For it is undoubtedly a fact of
first-class significance that, in
this war, the leading branches
of the Rothschild family find
themselves, politically speaking,
a house divided against itself.
The Austrian Rothschilds sup-
port Austria as they are in duty
bound to do, in making war
against England and France,
which are supported by the Eng-
lish and French Rothschilds, res-
pectively. Anselm Rothschild,
the head of tho Austrian Roths
childs, and Lord Rothschild, the
head of the English Rothschilds,
are both great-grandsons of
Mayer Amschet Rothschild, the
founder of this family. They
aie therefore second coumiis.
But they are even more closely
related than that. For Anselm's
mother was a sister of the late
Baron Lionel de Rothichild,
and thus he is also first cousin
to Lord Rothschild.
The Rothschilds have remain-
ed an absolutely united family,
as witness their extraordinary
series of marriages between first
cousins, unparalleled outside a
few Royal families.It has al-
so been their policywhether
they were Austrian*, or French,
or, English to play more or less
into one another's hands in their
financial operations. But so
far as the financing of this war
is concerned this is no longer
possible. As a financier an Aus-
trian Rothschild must know no-
thing of an English Rothschild.
As head of the British people .
King George takes no count of
the German Emperor,
they are first cousins,

their financial support was
given to the side which was
seeking the overthrow of the
Little Corporal. Even Lord
Rothschilds great-uncle, James,
who founded the Trench Roths-
childs, was in Paris secretly col-
lecting French coin to forward
to Wellington for his advance
in Southern France just befoie
Napoleon's first abdiction. Since
those clays other Germanic
families have imitated the
Rothschilds with great success,
and established bran lies cork-
ing together in the leading capi-
tals of the world. It is proba-
ble that o wai between England
and Germany never entered in-
to their calculations, and cer
tainly the man in the street may
accept it as a fact that the last
thing in the world they, as fi-
nanciers would d< site would be
ftn Anglo-German wai. .Such a
conflict "must obviously cause
them embarrassment in certain
directions. As the bitterness of
conflict -deepnis, families and
firms may be called upon by the
nations to be less international
and more national, 01 even en-
tirely national.
War Notes
There isan element of corned)
in the Germans "bagging" Bai
on Lambert de Rothschild the
head of the B< Igian Rothschilds,
and holding him as a hostage
for the war indemnity imp
on the city 0.1 Brussels. It may
be that the cash taken from
baron Lambert's pockets will
be used to pa> the interest on
Baron Anselm's loans to the
Austrian Government. In that
case the money would still be in
the family. Bu\ at the worst,
a philosophic and all embracing
financier can always console
himself with the reflection that
what is lost on the swings may
be gained on the roundabouts,
A British soldier in Belgium
was one morning wending his
way to camp with a fine rooster
in his arms, whi n lie WBSStopp-
ed by hiscolo-iel to know if he
bad been stealing chickens. "No,
colonel," Was tie reply. "1 saw
the old fellow sitting on the
wall,and I ordered him tocrow
for England, and he wouldn't
so 1 just took Inm prisoner."
The following grim jest is re
corded of a German officer taken
prisoner by the f imousregiment
of Guards. He was surrounded
by a number of his men, and
asked to know what Nu
Regiment had the honoui of the
capture. When he was told he
said :"Then we have got to
the next world, have we?"
"How so?" hewasasked/'Well,
we know," said the Gernittn of-
ficer, "that regiment was anni-
hilated long ago with the rest
of the Russian Guard regiments.
The Emperor William told us
so himself." When the truth
was borne upon that officer he
was the saddest of men for H
deeper reason than the mere
fortune of war.
The folio ving story which
shows the kei nm SS of the Colo-
