GIGANTIC WAR MACHINE.Now York, April 22.—What Ihave for a year or more predictedin speeches and articles has happened.Germany, forced into a corner by the demand for sums greater than can be wrung from the German people, has chosen to make an alliance with Russia and to seek from the economic benefits to be derived from such an alliance the wherewithal to pay her pressing creditors.Few people realize that for years the commercial language of Russia was German, that the educated part of the population of the Baltic states is Germanic, and that from the men of German descent in these states were chosen many of the best generals and administrators ofthe old Russia.And as surely as night follows day there will follow a military alliance between Germany and Russia.France may well fear the day when the hordes of Russia, drilled and disciplined by Germans, led by Germans, will pour across Europe in that constant drive to the west which seems a brute instinct of all Europeans.The new Poland will disappear, once more partitioned between Germany and Russia.No more important and startling event than this alliance has happened since that Armistice day, when the kaiser’s empire fell.
