The Next War.
the correspondent of the Ofcago Daily Times, writing from London on December Bth says : — All capab'e judges concur in deolaring that the next great European war will break out with the utmost suddenness, and will be quite unexpeebed by one of the parties ooncerned, although it may have been long in secret preparation by, the others. There are not wanting many sinister portents even at the present,, moment. Thoughtful observers on the Continent warn us to be prepared for a 'sudden blow being struck any day by France and Russia in combination against . our ascendancy in Egypt and elsewhere. That this t« pending, and its delivery a question', only of time, cannot seriously be doubted. It must come unless our prospective antagonists should,, be first crippled by other foes* Perhaps that is the forlorn hope irt f whioh- out dilatory English Government' indulges.
