Calais is this morning the scene Of m event
which must add TO the historical interest that town
already possesses. The troops Of nation formerly
called "onr Iotural enemy" will be svarining on

Engiishmen had scarcely ever met but to exchange
blows. Hatred OF their conquerors rage for the
past, hope that their death would be rovenged in
victims OF Edward Ills vengeance INDUCED in. For
two hundred and ten years after this Calais was an
English Possession. lnsolently did VIC maintain our

that It should have been asserted in such times that
the French were our natural enemies. II ever the

The day OF retFihution came. Not quite three CEN

pity for the fortunes Of her subjects as they were

Dover and Calais, when mentioned together, even
NOW suggest thoughts Of enmity and struggle. Our
very humorists managed to keen up the bad feeling.
Hcgsrths famous picture OF the gate Of Calais has
taught many an English youth that Frenchman
was something to be sneeyed at-an object Of con-
temptuous pity. No place could be more appro-
