THE l'EIUL FRANCE FACES
The crowds thronging the Paris
boulevards that protested uoisi
lj- and violently; recently
a gains: war for their coun
try, had grave reasons for their
dread of the struggle which is now
In progress. They may not have
known exactly why they feared for
the future of France. Many, por
haps, took part in tho demonstra
tions for other purposes than n
desire to hold back their native
land from a plunge Into dire peril,
but the danger is very plain. Xo
other country of the first rank
faces such chances of overwhelm
ing cisaster.
Military experts have been unani
mous in their opinion that i£ the
Triple AU.'ance should go to war
with France and Russia, with Great
Britain adsed or without the Un
ited Kingdom to help the two
allies, the German plan of cam
paign would center upon a tremen
dously power'ul and swift invasion
of France. Rust-ia is vast, slow
and unablo to strike with full force
at thu besinuiug of a war Austrii
could be left to hold the Czar's
troops in c ;eck, with tho help of
the German garrisons alonjj th.
Russian lrontier. A defensive
campaign in that quarter would be
sufficient for tho safety of Ger
many.
so tne wnoio weignt ot tno im
mense German field army could be
used to crush France. Great
Britain would be unable to give
the Frenca font's effective assist
ance. In a short, fierce campaign
the coutrol of the seas would not
matter much to Germany. The
German colonies would be left to
their fate. Ths instant business
of the most formidable military
power in the world would be th*.
smashing of France. Her allies
could be dealt with when France
lay prostrate and helpless.
It is a grim prospect for a gal
lant and intensely proud nation
numerically overweighted by a
power whi^h proved too strong for
Frauce when there was no im
portant difference between the two
countries in population. Now Ger
many has at least 27,000,000 more
people than France and is much
superior lu organized military
strength and on the sea. It is not
to be wondered at that sober
minded Frenchmen viewed with
dread the prospect of being drawn
into war against the Triple Al
liance.
Having said It three times. Rep
resentative Brandegea is now un
derstood as conceding the Presi
dent "110 business to have a legis
lative program."
The announcement that the
United States will not interfere
In Europe is a reassurance that
would not have been needed 5n
former times.
The ladv who accuses her hus
band of receiving "erotic love li
ters" from another surely didn't
expect them lo be hydraulic or
