All Against England.
Loiinoiv, Dec. 2.-The Contempor-
ary Review for December contains a
sensational anonymous article entitled.
“The Arch Enemy of England.” This
is the German Emperor. The writer
alleges that the Kaiser seized the Kiao-
Chou by an agreement with Russia to
prevent England getting it, and the
Czar holds his personal promise to va-9
cate it when called upon. |Russia pro-
viding Germany with co. ling stations
elsewhere. The writer declares the
Kaiser had drawn up a complete plan
arranging for the naval superiority of
France, Russia and Germany over Eug-
land four years hence, when England is
to 'be compelled to make humiliating
termsthroughout the world, leaving
Germany the chief commercial colonial
power. All these plans have suddenly
been thrown into confusion by the
American-Spanish war and America
and England drawing together.
The article, which is sure to attract
attention for its extraordinary attack on
the Qusen’s grandson, continues :“The
American people, with characteristic
shrewdness, have detected this with re-
sentment and hostility, and are in no
mood to put up with browbeating from
anyone. Considering that the Americans
took no inconsiderable part in opening
China and Japan to external influences,
the only ground for surprise is that they
have been so slow in manifesting in-
lei est in the situation in the Far East,
but now that the impulse has been sup-
plied and an assertion of the claim to
have a voice in it has been made, there
will be no drawing back or hesitation
in pushing niaters to a conclusionl lt _
is precisely in the Far East that the
action -the mere presence--of the
United States is so disconcerting and
disagreeable to the German Emperor. ,_
It disarranges all his plans, deprives
himself and allies of that ascendency in
the -China seas which they have twice
which they saw a long train of future
advantages. Under such circumstances
the continued proximity of American
and German squadrons at Manila, ag-
gravated by the demeanour of the Ger-
man ohicers, is full of peril. The peril
may pass off, but will only do so by the
withdrawal of Germa_ny’s pretensions.
“At this moment the question turns
on Whether the German Emperor can
induce Russia and France to join him in
a demonstration of superior naval force
to that- possessed by the United States
both in the Pacific and the Atlantic, and'
the answer to that largely depends on
whether he and the Czar of Russia be-
tween them can exercise sullicient pres-
sure in England to induce our Govern.
ment, in return for some empty conces-
sions in Africa, some easily broken
promises as to China, to hold its hand,
to hesitate for the necessary moment
while they enforce their will on the
United States. ~
“This is to be the real peril to the
creation of areal Anglo-Saxon alliance.
Frem the very beginning of the crisis
in the Far East the English policy has
done nothing but hesitate and give way,
has allowed and assisted the creation of
diliicnlties that never would have
nrt.-,eii if it had only stood firm at the
beginning of the question. There now
appears on the scene in a totally unex-
pected manner one ally, who could and
