Heureaux accordingly reduced them, and Jimenes again exported at a great profit. It was throughout a perfectly businesslike and legitimate transaction. * * * By and by Jimenes found that he had given Heureaux $200,000, and that the latter was demanding principle of the law of nations ! more.

The writer sa “In this connection the, at firs[ ight, almost unintelligible the Kaiser toward the United States acquires a new significance. What, asks the puzzled bystander, had he to gain by unneecssarily quarreling with a state of such gigan- tic strength? The answer is that he wished to as- sume the position of the champion of Europe against the transmarine powers.

The policy described in the article appears fantas- tic, but it is by no means an ignoble one. Europe has nothing to fear from the United States, but it may have something to fear from Russia, and the building up of a great power on that continent under the virile leadership of Germany would be a good thing not only for Europe but for the world. It is quite possible some such ambition may be in the brain of the Kaiser. At any rate he is acting wisely in cen- ciliating the French and making ready to meet any emergency that may arise.
