Gemany turps ail eyes for the moment from \ Mam-burla to Europe. A wn.r liftween these countries would doubtless be, for the western I wond, of tar greater inipoitanco thau ihe{ faht conflict that han raged lor a year aud ai lialf between Russia and Japan. Not only would It be nearer our homes and bosoms because of race affinities auti the close bond* of literature, art, and life, but because the theatre of war con id not, probab'y, be confined wlttiin Hih murders ol the two belllgereuls. Tbeii?i?-<>| conflict would almost Inevitably eweep into tne current Austria. Italy, England ho Russia. It mlabt easily develop Into Hie most titanic struggle* in all litsiory, greater lar than the French Revolution and the Napo eonlc wars. It is because of thes>-lears that I he whole world s today regarding the peitv but dangerous controversy between ti e cabinets 01 Faris and Berlin with an interest so Intense that, lor the moment, the million men In aims in Manchuria seem very remote and very vague. War la by no means inevitable Indeed II seems quite probable that it will be averted, that the crisis has really passed. Whatever diplomacy may do to avoid hostilities we may be sure will be done, not only In Frsnce | autt Germany but In other couu tries. But we L have recently witnessed a deplorable failure \ of diplomacy?principally, however, because \ It was lnslncert?to avert war between Rus sla and Japan. In tills case,diplomacy must be sincere, for it understands lully how lmf measurably great are the interests at stake. Tbe real source of danger is no longer Morocco, which was tbe^ylgln of the cantrover. -Mnnai ouarrels, the ejr. a?,iuj .^i|{ynr . apparent cause is ~1frul -pretext, and we must look betalDd U was* qir.ie cause?jealousy, greed. aggree. . -Hosp Tbe obJect of statesmen In su'lIU so c,ose- ? is "Not to stir without Sit* ribbv. i c But greatly to find quarrernfl p t, , Wden honor's at the stake." r or 10 hf? And so behind the pretext of the opt .oor In Morocco we see the iU8t ol war and , . wtion the part ol Germany, and on the part oi France revenge lor 1S70 and tne winning back of her lilcbeu provinces. Popular feeling that has unfortunately been aroused in France and Germany by the miserable controversy started by the mischievous blustet of the headstrong kaiser Is now the grave menance in the situation. But the chances now favor a peaceful ad Justmem of the differences because Germany realizes that she caunot shake England Iroiu her lriendiy relations, or, as uermany tears. Irom bis faint-hearted allies, Austria ana i Italy, will abandon his arrogant attitude and permit an amicable settlement of the Moroccan question. ! Gtrmany has been checked and tempered, and the rest of the world has been amazed by the leariess attitude of France and her pre paredness lor her alliance with France. It l? nkeiy therefore, that tbe kaiser, fluding hie bluff "called" by France,.supported by Eng land and the moral sentiment of the world and nimself suspected by immediate wai that tbe quarrel over Morocco has revealed. f The defeat of 1370, which Bismarca thought was fatal to French aspiration*, has been tbe cause of rtjuvtnaung France. She Is u greater military power today than she evei |< was, and tier victorious armieB u?vC wufcu It Id every capital ol Europe. Her fleet toaay |i' la second to England's aud preponeeratingo superior to UeinTany's. Her army, ou t> peace footing?mat is ready for immediate service in tbe Held?Is larger than Germany'* by some 50,000 troops. Ou a war looting, aftei tbe last reserves are 6ummoued to tbe Held, Germany would bave about 5,500,000 ami France about 4.600,000 soldiers. Toe difler ence Is not sufficient to insure German success in au Invasion of France nor to prevent with certainty the recapture and holding ol Alsace-Lorraine. As to morale, It is well known that the French, like tbe Japanese, are patriotic lithe last drop of biood, and this sentiment doubtless inspires the soldiers ol France as it does those ol Japan. Toe French bave indeea always /ought wltb the most remarkable zeu. for their colors and cause, xney uuvo wuu more great battles, made more great military reputations, been led oy more brilliant cou manders than any other people iu history They bave triumphed over tbe Germain times without number?and tbey will uoubtless wId victories frcm tbem agulh.

Jfetvefc Ir an 0ddr ]?, p Q j Russian Easter o O Custom WHILE the craze uf giving an collecting souvenirs on ever possible occasion is genera ly looked upon as bekig ej clusively American, yet in one fespec at least, Russian women beat th American women out and out. Anion the Russian aristocrats the custom c giving and collecting Easter eggs i universally followed, and some wome have carried it to an almost extrav? gant extent. Both the dowager empress of Ilussi and the young czarina have becom collectors of Easter eggs, and the] collections in point or u^tn vaiue an extent- greatly excel those of othe wealthy Russian women, anil as th custom is widespread in Russia thy is saying a good deal. Among court circles it seems tbo there is an unwritten law which ha existed from time immemorial that th reigning czar shall give the czarin an Easter egg containing some vali able gift, which usually takes the fori of a reproduction of some recent noi able event worked in precious metal and jewels. Alexander III., the father of th present czar, never failed to observ the custom, and the result is that th dowager empress has some magnit cent eggs among her coHection. On of the eggs given her by her husban ?the one she prizes more highly tha any other?is made of ivory and cor tains a miniature ship made of soli gold mounted on a beryl stone, it ] said that the goldsmith spent mor than nine months in making it. Its intrinsic value, however, is by n means the thing that appeals to th empress herself. Its true value to he lies in the fact that it is a souvenir c the happy termination of what ha been a most trying and anxious ordei for her. It seems that the present czar, Nicht las II., had a most unreasonable lov affair when a boy. The czar, his ft ther, insisted upon his visiting the coi tinent, hoping that his ardor might b somewhat cooled in that way. Aroun the world Nicholas was accordingl sent, and, as expected, the voyag proved that the saying "absence make the heart grow fonder" is not universa lir troo fnr xchon thp vfrnnc nrlnpe r< turned his love had died out. Nevei theless the empress grieved greatl over the affair, which had been som< what of a shock to society, and it wa a long time before she was really sa' isfied that the danger was passed. A a souvenir of their happy escape froi what had at one time seemed about t end in a royal scandal the czar presen ed his wife on the following Easte with the miniature gold ship, whic was a perfect representation of ths in w ilch the young prince had mad his tour of the world, complete in ever detail, even the smallest cable bein accurately reproduced. Among the present czarina's colle< tion is a large golden egg enameled i rose color, containing a small but pei feet model of the state carriage i which the young couple were driven t the Cathedral of Moscow on the day c their wedding. The model is made c gold, with red enamel cushions, an little silver curtains are suspended o golden wires, while on the panels th imperial crown is inlaid in beautifi diamonds and other precious stone: This egg was given to the czarina i Easter of her coronation year. Not long ago the czarina receive from her husband as an Easter preser a jeweled heart set in rare many co ored stones. This heart was surrounc ed by twenty-five tiny miniatures c the members of the Russian royal fan ily. The Easter egg collections of ti empress and the czarina were exhil ited at the Paris exposition, with tt rest of the crown jewels, and the were much admired. In all, the young czarina has ov< 125 different eggs, many of them hai ing been given to her when she was child. The collection of the empref dowager is somewhat smaller, but coi tains some ninety-five beautiful spec mens?Kansas City Star. Easter of the Tyroleae.
