WAR.
The European Powers Preparing for War.
Paris, December 21.--Much uneasiness is felt here over the rapidity with which the Government is working to place the armament of France in the most complete condition possible. The State manufacturies of arms and ammunition are all being worked to their utmost capacity. There is a report from Rome that Italy is arming. Advices from Berlin state that Germany is increasing her troops in Alsace and Lorraine.
The New York Star's London cablegram says: Press opinions of European capitalists wired here contain nothing to warrant hopes of a peaceful settlement of the Eastern question. The situation is one of grave suspense, and the opinion grows stronger that war is inevitable.
General Allison, speaking of the outlook, was unable to hold out hopes of a European conflagration being averted. He declared that the British army is in a thorough state of efficiency and fitness for mobilization.
