feel a proprletm v Interest In thy win

ed and the last chip has prone the
way of the rest. At leant we are
told that that is In* way of the game.
The night Is drawing on. (Jermany
lias had the big end of the luck. Hut
there are some who play the waiting
game. England, for Instance, has been
pinching oft' of her stack sparingly,
uud hy some subtle psychology reasons
that the luck Is hound to. change. In
the Hoot* war and In some other en
tanglements, notably one with Mr. Na
poleon Honapartc, England waited until
till of the others who sat in the gauio
had lost Interest, aud with u smart
coup the Itrltivh royal straight "busted
the bank." ?
Apparently England has been slick
ing to her old form of play, waiting
and watching^ supposing that her pass
| lylty would be regarded as impotency,
! uud hoping thus to catch the others
napping and to settle the evening's
seorcs on terms of her own making.
England bus heeii wafting for what a
distinguished statesman in South Car
olina once called a "lallapaloosa" hand.
The offer of (Ieriuany to make peace
Is on its face fair and frank. We
don't see how the allies can decline to
enter into a discussion of it ulthoilgh
they might reject the exact terms. The
suggestion of (ieriuany might be sub
ject to amendment. (Jennany proposes
to give back to Hclglum and France
and Serbia the chips that they have
