Since then she has been quartered in a convent colony for “politicals” at Kirensk, in the Province of Irkutsk.

No one doubts I the Kaiser is as sincere a lover of peace as any monarch in Europe and everybody here is convinced that he has no higher wish than that he may be permitted to end his reign without tlie calamity of a war. Still there are many well-informed observers of events who are beginning to lean to the conviction that one of two things must happen. The coming few years must either see the downfall of mili tarism in Germany or a great war must come to convince the German people that an army of millions ol men is necessary to the safety of the country. Rather titan see the aboli- tioh of our present military system, our military officers would face the risk of a war, even if they had to provoke it themselves Opposition Is Spreading. In all ports of Germany—less in Prussia, It i? true, than anywhere else—the popular opposition to the army is increasing, the burdens are becoming unbearable and a halt must be called. The voices condemning a patriotism bankrupting the country and pauperizing its citizens are grow ing stronger. . The limit of the German peoples patience toward militarism has been reached and omens of what will come are not lacking. A few more Social ist victories and a militaristic gov ernment majority in the Reichstag will be impossible. Bavaria has shown the way. T wo weeks ago, the Bavarian Prime Min ister voiced the feelings of the w hole German people, when he said in the Bavarian Diet that although the Bavarian Government had done wna, is considered ita duty, when the im perial Government declared that it was unable to guarantee the safety of the empire unless the enormous amounts asked for on the army budg et were forthcoming, the time had now come when it was the duty of the Government of Bavaria to say that “this continual increase in arma ments must now cease for years for the Bavarian, as in fact the whole German people, is' unable to oear these burdens.” Praise and Censure. The words of tlio Bavarltilt J rinio Minister tiavn been as strongly ‘con demned in llie Government and mili taristic press as they have been praised iu the papers that represent the masses of the people. Only a war might restore the popu larity of the army and very prumi nent army officers have never con* reaied their opinion that war would be a blessing to Germany. Sitting close to a group of high arm' officers in a fashionable Berlin cafe the other night. I overheard a conversation concerning the incidents at Zabern in Alsace, in which all the officers not only expressed their usual contempt of civilians, but agreed that a few more affairs of that kind might he exceedingly useful. They might stir up the people of France to such a pitch that a war would be un- avoidable, which would once more restore the Germany army to popular favor. _ , An army among whose officers such feelings are common, constitutes a great danger to the peace of Kurope. It ia likely to resort to desperate means to preserve tts position, if steps are taken by the Reichstag to curb it and put an end to the military dictatorships which practically exist in many places beside Zabern.
