FRANCE AND CHINA IN WAR

France and China are now fighting for
the possession CT tho province of Tonquin,
which borders China on the south. French
aggression, involving the seizure of this
territory to which China claimed sover-
eighty. brought the two nations into an
.agonism. France wants bonus of $40,-
600, 900 and China will see France in Pur-
gatory before she gives. The chances
are in favor of China, inasmuch as she
has 25O, ,0OO,O 600 people and has only to act
on the defensive, while France must main
tain the awful expense of waging war at
a great distance, while keeping an eye at
the same time on her Eropean neighbors,
that they do not take advantage OF the
opportunity and spoil her complexion at
home.
