LONDON, Sept. Tin many parts q
Germany yesterday the people cele-
brated the anniversary of the week
which, twenty-one years ago, witnessed
the overthrow of the French Emperor
Napoleon at Sedan. The day is known
as ''Sedan Day." The troops were alb
sent at the maneuvers, but multitudes
of civilians visited the cemeter es and
placed flowers on the graves of the SOL
diers. 1t was noticed that the Interest
In the occasion was even greater than
last yoar, and the common talk of the
people was that the scenes of 1901
might soon again be repeated. The war
feeling in Germany is very strong, and
there is a general sentiment that the
present tension cannot long continue.
and that France will either have to

Salisbury and the DardanelIcs.
1t is reported that the British foreign
Office Will take vigorous measures in a
few days to bring the Dardanelles uues-
tlon to q settlement. Lord Salisbury
has been mild in his policy toward Tur-
key, so much so that there has been
much complaint among British sub
1ects at Constantinople that less respect
is shown for them than for the Ger
mans. Now, however, it is rumored on
sound authority that the attitude will
be changed, and that a bold demand will
be made upon the sultan to take q
stand against the claims of Russia,
There appears to be no substantial
ground for the report that Germany and
Austria have given Lord Salisbury any
ADVICE on the subject. He has not yet
asked their advice, and possibly may
not until he has exhausted the resources
of British diplomacy at Constantinople.
Then, if he finds the porte obstinately
bent upon yielding to Russia, he will
probably consult the other powers.
Lord Salisbury, it is reported in usually
well informed circles, will not under
any circumstances consent to the pas
sage of the DaFdanelles by Russian war
vessels under any guise.
Polish Loyalty to Austria.
A Vienna dispatch says that the Aus
tr1an emperor is to some extent compen-
sated for the disloyal attitude Of the Bo-
hemians by the growing devotion of the
Gaiician Poles. The latter are even
eager TO see war break out in order that
they may have chance to avenge their
national wrongs on Russia, which
country they hold chiefly responsible
for the destruction of Poland. AT Cra-
cow the people march in the streets sing
ing the Polish national hymn and
rhymes violently abusive of Russia, and
some even personally directed ut the
car. The police make pretense of in
terfering at times, but it is said that the
Austrian authorities are secretly pleased
with the manifestations as counter
part to the anti-Austrian agitation in
bohemia, which is attributed chiefly to
Russian influences. All indications are
that, in the event of Russian invasion
of Galicia, the Poles will rise as ope
man to battle against their hereditary
enemies. The reason for Polish devo-
tion to Austria is that nowhere has
Austrian rule been more benefcent than
in Austrian Poland, where it contrasts
sharply with the oppression exercised
by the Russians on the other side Of the
border
