fretted A ^S^OO ; school 'bouse and are
transporting oil the children who live
too far to walk. This consolidation
gives the school enough pupils to es

while some international animosities

From the B'itish stiimluoaii -- the
whol" affair has been a surprise be
eauKe for the (list time in yt'rtts the
British government felt itself, with
apparently an understanding of
France ? and Hussia and complete
friendship with Italy, to he in a posi
tion where it dominated European
poli t U'S, reserving oht of this consid
eration the almost open enmity be
! ween itself and Germany. I
Probably never in the history of
Europe have politics taken such
amazingly kaleidscopie revolutions
as during the past week. An entang
ling situation will come when the
signatories of the Berlin treaty meet
to consider what action shall be
| taken regardiiur the violations of the
I treaty. Great Britain has served
1 notice that it does not recognize the
right of any of the parties to this
I treaty to violate its provisions with
1 out consulting the others but Eng
I lish diplomats know that the eonfer
I ence will resolve itself into a scrnm
I ble among the powers to get what is
I termed in European politics, coin
I penaating advantages" which Aus
tria, backed by Germany, has already
I obtained. , ,
The official statement issued by tbe
1 British foreign office says :
' "Hi* Majesty's government cannot
{admit the right of any power to alter
I an international treaty without the
consent of the other parties to it
I and therefore refuses. to sanction any
I Infraction of the Berlin treaty and
declines to recognize what has been
