This ancient state has powers, more especially until now been statistically in-| France. But this obstacle is cluded in the Ottoman Empire | now removed. No doubt by virtue of a nominal Turkish | suzerainty, and the payment of | a small annual tribute. France approves of this meas- ure, which is probably a mili- tary necessity in view of the conduct of Turkey and the Khe- dive. Since Abbas Hilmi has chosen support Turkey, without regard to the wish and welfare of his subjects, he can- not remain. Britain must ad- minister the government di- rectly, as it is now her duty to protect it from an invasion. If France is satisfied, and Russia does not object, it is not im- portant what Germany and Austria think about it. This annexation, then, brings over 10,000,000 Egyptians into the British Empire and makes the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, with its two or three million people, the British Sudan pure and In fact Egypt has been controlled by | Britain, through an agent, a financial controller, and a mil- itary commander, though the Khedive and his Cabinet have maintained the form of an au- tonomous government. Britain and France were at first asso- ciated in the direction of cer- tain affairs in Egypt, but when the rising of 1882 occurred France did" not intervene, and since then Britain has exer- cised her influence alone. In the beginning there was an un- derstanding that Britain would retire when Egypt should be eapable of orderly self-govern- ment, but the situation has de- to veloped as it does in the Phil-| simple.

We are not, however, much in proving a charge of inconsistency against Mr. Ridder. In peace he would naturally think in a cool and more reasonable way than in a war which enlisted his racial sympa- thies in a combative mood. Any- how, what we are chiefly concern- ed with is the essential truthful- ness and reasonableness of the opinions expressed in the passage have quoted. The pan-Ger- mans did drive England into the arms of France; they did drive France into the arms of England. They did bring about the = alli- ance of England and France with Russia.

If German energy was confined, in a national )Sense, to a small part of Europe, Germans should not worry about) international boundaries, but should stand upon their own mer- its as men and women, and make these merits tell, in all their weight and strength, in every part of the world.
