From the New York World, Feb. 12. Europe neid its breath one day during the past werk. It had been announced that on Monday Prince Bistarck would, in nis address to the reWhstag, inform humanity whether the spring- time was to bring war or peace. But weare about as Wise now as we were a Week ayo respecting the probability of the future, and Lord Salisbury told great truch when he sald in the British house of lords, on Thursday night, that “ne would not pre- tend to give fuller taformation than was conveyed tm the recent masterly speech of Prince Bis marck.” The nobié lord was presumably ironical. ‘The great benef of such a spesch ts that it gives the soions of the Eu litical each a chance to tat the chancellors. words in the Way chat suits him best.

On the other hand, the pike is the robber Of Kuropeau lakes and rivers, the “shark of Inland waters.” It is with such simple, every-day tilus- trations that Prince Biswurck loves to interiurd his great Speeches and letters. In this regard, no ‘man has taade happier ita In 1867 he said: “Let Us place Geriany in the Saddle, She will be aule {o Fide weil enough.” In all his great speeches ap- | Beallug for funds to carry out the military defense of the couptry will be found many phrases that are calctiated to strike nome to the heart of the German, “AD tnsufficieut preparation, for de- | tense,” he once said, “brings about its own punish. j ment.” In 1969 he suid: “A rvof is neceswary tO | prevent tue rain coming in; a dike is necessury to | prevent inundations, and our army is necessary to Protect our productivity in ite whole exteut.
