A pamphlet recently published in the form of a synopsis and criticism of the work of Jean de Bloch, the Russian Im- Perial Counsellor of State, is creating somewhat of a sensation in Europe. It . is a sort of scarecrow for the great military powers. As far as possible it tends to show the impossibility of any great war in the near future, and it raises the question, Have the con- tinued improvements in armament reached a point where a battle might be like the famous one of the Kilkenny cats?
